Be sure to visit The Crescat to see the results of the Ugliest Vestment poll.
The one I voted for won…. or is it lost.
You decide.
These things must be seen to be believed.
Make the some popcorn and share the moment with a friend.
About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.

PLEASE subscribe via PayPal if it is useful.
That way I have steady income I can plan on, and you wind up regularly on my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I periodically say Holy Mass.

“Vestment” is a little too strong methinks.
With the possible exeption of The Cardinal: Oh Dear!! Catholic you Say?
Oh my dear Jesus… we need so much of you!
Please come to our souls, come as soon as
you can.
I agree with RJackson, at least the first set, I don’t think can properly be called vestments. A sort of cloak or garment…. maybe an exalted blanket with a hole in it, not vestments.
How about a most beautiful vestments contest on WDTPRS?
Here, here! to the most beautiful vestment contest idea.
I have seen plenty of ugly vestments in my life but what really iritates me is seeing the stole on top of the Chasuable. Can any one explain why European churches don’t use candle followers? Have seen many photos of ceremonies in churches across the pond and the candles appear to burn very poorly with wax dripping everywhere.
Thanks for your comments.
