I thought it was disrespectful.

Couldn’t take them off for two minutes ?

Would it been a nice way of genuflecting and trying to be in the world, than of the world? Sure, it would’ve been nice. I understand and get that.

But consider something else. Just food for thought (really no Pun intended.) When on a bright beautiful sunny day. Does that not seem Jesus we encounter in the Holy Eucharist? Who is the light? Consider the Cherubim and Seraphim in the Hymn “Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silent.”

From the realms of endless day. In ceaseless voice do they praise. With a sleepless eye.

Jesus in the Holy Eucharist is God’s presence in a similar way as He was present on the burning bush on Mount Sinai (I think) wherefore the bush was never consumed by the fire. There God spoke to Moses. He took off his sandal’s, for that it was Holy Ground.

Consider, people have to wear sunglasses, because it could/would symbolically regard that the light of Christ present in the Eucharist is too bright for the ordinary human eye to see. Certainly sunglasses could no more filter our eyes of the supernatural terrain of Christ’s Presence than the Sandal’s which Moses removed from his feet could do greater homage to God.

Anyone relate ?

I can totally relate to people wearing sunglasses outside.

I wear them even on cloudy days. My eyes are extremely sensitive to light, and I have to be careful because of severe eye problems that run in my family.

I’m happy to make sacrifices of all kinds during Lent and throughout the year. But risking permanent eye damage is not, in my opinion, a licit form of sacrifice.
 
I just thought of Kurt Russel in “The Thing” (1981) wearing that huge weird hat. He’s got the beard and long hair, so maybe that’ll be an idea of Jesus wearing a hat?
 
Hey, I’ve got a hat identical to that. Now all I have to do is grow a beard… and I can fool rich little old ladies into thinking I’m the second coming, and please give generously for your rapture ticket!
 
I’m not sure about Cardinal Sarah, but I’m quite sure Fr. Z would find a way to blame Vatican II for the sunglasses, and even possibly find a way to link them to Fr. Martin and the “homosexualist lobby.”
 
Wear sunglasses during Mass and you will look like this

Martin! Is that a weed? I’m calling 911!

(Only the younger people will understand)
 
I was going to say…

as long as they weren’t aviators, I don’t see a problem with sunglasses for Communion. The light of Christ could burn them out anyways if they were so horrible.

No.

You’re being quite outrageous.

What if the temperature was 10 below zero fahrenheit and Mass is outside for some reason? Should people not wear hats and gloves?

This.
Why is Mass outside? Ever?
Okay - - wolves tear the flesh off me. Go.

Usually either because there are too many people for an indoor event and it’s in a stadium (like the Pope celebrating Mass in a giant sports stadium) or because of extenuating circumstances (an Army chaplain celebrating Mass on a jeep in VietNam)…

Sometimes there have to be limits, right? Let’s face it, those outdoor huge Masses- - with the paper cups and the jumbotron? Why?
 
Papal masses draw enormous crowds. One in Manila is said to have attracted over 6 million.

You’re really committed to this whole sunglasses thing, aren’t you?
 
Religious figures wearing sunglasses look like this to me. It looks shady.
