The Cassock Is Not “A Detail”
Aborting Vocations
. Cyril Farret d'Astiès has commented on the decision of Toulouse Archbishop de Kérimel to ban the cassock in his seminary. Kérimel alleged that the cassock would give too much of a clerical image and would create a distance with the faithful. But Farret notices that – quote - “asking seminarians not to aspire to the clerical state and forcing them to mix with lay people is really doing everything possible to abort vocations.”
Details. Farret takes up the argument that legislating about the cassock regards only a detail. He stresses, that other things may also be considered only a detail such as abolishing the offertory in the Novus Ordo, communion on the tongue, the introduction of lay readers. However, Farret explains that such an accumulation of details, which all point in the same direction, leads to another small detail which is secularisation and the loss of faith.

In my layperson's point of view, it makes perfect sense to prohibit seminarians from wearing cassocks anywhere where the seminarian may become engaged with laypeople, such as myself. As a layman, seeing a man wearing a cassock, I may naturally assume the wearer is a Priest, which, of course, a seminarian is not. This could, quite easily, lead to my revealing confidences which an un-ordained man is unprepared to hear, as well as leading me, the layman, to gain invalid confidences from my interaction with the cassock-wearing man.

To me it seems that that alone is a valid reason to prohibit seminarians from wearing cassocks in any public place.

May God, in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, bless, protect, and defend each and every person who reads these words.
