Thought Provoking


Jesus and the apostles never wore special robes to represent themselves as clergy.
Yes, he had a tunic woven from a single piece of cloth. But let's not pretend that it had a little white bit in the middle of a black color or that he wore some elaborate, pointy hat that only he was allowed to wear.
Clergy clothing is an accretion and one that seems unhealthy (note I did not say "evil").
One can make analogies about Old Testament priests and their clothes but this only underscores my point, for we are ALL priests and trying to make such distinctions in the body of Christ base on an Old Covenant distinction that doesn't exist in Christ only shows that the priesthood of all believers is made less clear through clergy clothes.

  1. The authors of the Dideche also believed in things like Mary's always virgin, Jesus becoming the Eucharist, confessing sins to a priest, etc. So there is no reason for you to cite them on abortion.

  2. Angry Catholic,
    Prove that it said Mary was a virgin after Jesus birth. Prove they said Jesus became the Eucharist, and that we are confess our sins to a so-called priest.
