thanks for this testimony. The old expression “clothes make the man” may not be perfect but does express that our clothes often affect the way we are regarded. I too am regarded very differently when I am in My clerical attire and when I am on my day off and just wear a casual shirt.
Thank you for posting this! It needs to be brought up much more often in parishes, at the very least in the parish bulletin. Europe is quite modern but I’m grateful that their churches are still in their right mind about proper clothing.
