Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke, Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura of the Holy Roman Church and Archbishop Emeritus of Saint Louis, poses with seminarians at Saint Francis de Sales Oratory, in Saint Louis. Photo taken last night.
The cassock is the standard dress for diocesan priests in the Latin Rite, Religious order priests wear their habit, while the Eastern Rites have very distinctive clothing styles. It is all about identity.
God brings such joy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the photograph, Mark!
Cardinal Burke looks great but the seminarians look a little freaky..haha
ReplyDeleteI dont think they look freaky at all.We are getting older and this is what priests are going to look like.
