[NOT A TROLL THREAD]
Let me get this straight, No I did not serve Mass with nothing but my underwear on…
I serve Mass in a cassock and surplice and I make it a goal to get black pants, black socks, and black shoes.
Well today I had gotten all of that, but my pants didn’t fit. I had got the wrong ones.
Well I didn’t want to wear the cassock with jeans. That would look totally tacky.
So what I did is that I went to the altar server changing room, took off my pants, put the cassock over me and put on my long socks and shoes… then put on the surplice.
Nothing was out of the ordinary, everything looked fine.
But was it irreverant (Or even sinful) to wear no pants under the cassock?
Thank you.
(BTW, The cassock belongs to me and me alone*, so no one is going to wear it after me)*
If that’s irreverent, then millions of Franciscan men are burning in hell. We don’t wear pants unless it’s very very cold and then we usually wear blue jeans that stick out from under the habit, with a surplus over the habit.
