QUAERITUR: shirt collar showing over cassock collar
From a reader:
Should altar servers (who wear cassocks) have “street clothes”
sticking up over the collar of their cassock?

QUAERITUR: Can instituted acolytes wear the biretta?
From a reader:
I am trying to determine who may wear the biretta during Mass.
It is clear that clergy (deacons, priests & bishops) wear the biretta.

My … Continue reading

QUAERITUR: the obligation of priests to dress as priests in public

QUAERITUR: Can a seminarian use an amice?
From a seminarian:
Just a question: Is it permissible for those candidates to be installed as acolytes during their seminary formation, in addition to the alb and cincture, allowed to wear an amice?
Of course it is. And it really must be … Continue reading
