The blog of a group of Filipino Catholics and their frank commentary on anything that affects their lives as a citizen of the Philippines and as a Roman Catholics.
I get what you mean and I totally understand your sentiments about the proper use of vestments for the celebration of the Mass. However if a priest has to walk for miles or ride a bike up a mountain, does he need to bring all his vestments to celebrate mass for far flung barrios? Hypothetically speaking, this photo doesn't look like they were in a barrio, do this doesn't count.
But what if, a priest needs to go say mass at the barrio all he could bring is his small bag with the (proper) vessels and a green & white reversible stole. Should we fault him for that? What if before the mass a person asks for confession, he doesn't have a violet stole, should the white one suffice? or should he deny the person confession?

I am usually *quite* tolerant when it comes to Mass outside a church, but this is simply as disgusting as the RH bill. Well, probably.
ReplyDeleteI was almost impressed upon seeing this blog below 'coz he's wearing what Priests should ought to be and scrolling further I became totally shocked.
ReplyDeletealmost perfect and yet...
What the heck is this (confused) "Priest-ess" doing?
