Men in Black: Why Do Priests Wear the Roman Collar?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2021
- Father Scott Bailey explains the history of the Roman Collar and the reasons why Catholic priests wear it. Clerical garb has been used for centuries, and the Roman Collar in particular has an interesting historical development. Why is it black? Why is there a small white part at the top? Fr. Scott answers these questions and he offers some suggestions for all of us to give better public witness to our faith.

When the Sisters and nuns began wearing regular clothes, the vocations soon started to decline. There is a reason that the presence of Christian devotion is a powerful message!
Well done sir and as a permanent deacon, I would wear my collar in my ministry and I too encountered people who were very angry about what had happened in the Church as well as having a woman who asked to hold my hand during a rocky air flight. In an emergency situation, the power of the collar allowed me to get access to people who were dying and needed someone to be with their loved ones at the moment of their death. Even in the movies, they are not calling for a rabbi, a Protestant minister, or a Buddudist monk when they are dying, they are screaming for a Catholic priest!
Beautiful! Thanks Deacon, and thanks for your ministry!
"Even in the movies, they are not calling for a rabbi, a Protestant minister, or a Buddudist monk when they are dying, they are screaming for a Catholic priest!" That is because you only watch movies in English and are made by western countries!
As an aspirant in formation, I've thought about this. I do want, if ordained, to have some outward sign inviting these kinds of encounters, but I wouldn't want someone to feel awkward for mistaking me as a priest. I like the shirts with the deacon cross, but it's not readily recognized by the public.
@@alpaca6575not true. I watch all sorts of movies from different countries that have English subtitles. We live in a global village where there are no boundaries. Have you noticed?
@@RisenChristDenverhope you're still working as a priest, Fr. Scott. Great talk. Warm greetings from Australia 🦘
So interesting. The Nashville Dominican Sisters of St Cecilia are in the traditional habit and their vocations are booming!!
I’m agnostic, and I adore this, father Scott! Thank you for the information and kindness to those around you ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Blessings to you!
Fantastic (and unusual) podcast. The attire worn by Catholic priests isn't usually discussed in a public forum but it's fascinating. Your "collar" essentially is your very visible business card. Thank you Fr. Scott. Great job! Warm greetings from Australia 🦘
God bless you
Nice to see real humility
God bless you continue your mission with that be blessed love from Melbourne Australia ❤
What a great priest! I was raised Catholic and this is the kind of person who best represents us.
Hi Father can understand many years ago, I was Army recruiter and wore class C uniform and of course I got lots of questions. I am glad there people like you, I would not go to Cathoilc Church if it was not for the priest , nothing like 100 % giving your life to God.
Thanks for your kind and supportive words! And thank you for your military service!
Thanks for sharing this father! Very interesting
Thanks very much Young Brother. Those are some mighty fine perspectives.
Hi Father! Thanks for sharing this! May God bless you! 🙏 ❤️
Thanks for sharing this information Fr. Scott! I always have my cross necklace on and beside it is a mustard seed. Kinda silly but I find comfort in it.
It is reassuring when out and about to see a Clergyman/Priest in a Collar. It is recognisable and comforting and i feel that things will be ok even if i don't know the Priest personally.
Thanks Father! ✝️
I heard a Lutheran minister say that the origin of the clerical collar was actually in 19th century England among Anglican priests. Presbyterians, Roman Catholics, and Lutheran then followed the practice.
While doing research for this video, Father Scott heard the same thing from Lutherans. There is a lot of ambiguity in the history of how the Roman Collar came about, but we know that a white linen cloth was being worn at the collar of priest's cassocks by the 17th century. Good article here, which points out that a Protestant minister in the 19th century invented the modern version of the removable collar that many clergy wear today - aleteia.org/2017/08/30/why-do-priests-wear-a-white-collar/
Well said, Sir.
Thanks for sharing. Paz e bem!
Glad you enjoyed it - blessings to you!
very interesting video. I'm looking for the meaning of the roman collar.
I should’ve known when FATHER BARNES at the VA MEDICAL CENTER never wore his it was a SIGN he wasn’t under the PRIESTHOOD as a Catholic Priest.
Do Catholic priests have to wear the collar all the time?
He explains that there is not a strict requirement to wear it on days off, but the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops would prefer priests to wear it “pretty much all the time.” Father Dave says, “Yes, it's a uniform, but it's also my vocation.
*NOW I KNOW……
GAME ON…..
No, the Roman collar does not make the priest ........ but to the laity, it represents something very special ...... it is a symbol and a reminder of being "Christ-like" and what the priest and everyone should aspire to and work towards in their life. So it is a symbol ..... a very special symbol.
As far as I know, it is somehow mentioned in CIC
This is a weird question, but do priests have to buy their own garb and vestments , or is it provided?
That's a very good question! Priests who belong to religious orders (like Franciscans, Jesuits, Dominicans, etc) take a vow of poverty which means they do not have money of their own. This means that the religious order would provide for them all of their needs, including their habit, clerical clothing, and mass vestments. Priests who belong to a diocese do not take a vow of poverty which simply means that they are allowed to own their own things and have money. So priests who belong to a diocese would normally pay for their own clerical clothing and at least some of their vestments (such as an alb and purple stole). Most priests probably do not need to own vestments for Mass because churches almost always have those on hand for their use.
Good evening man of God I'm Ricky riding you from Houston Texas I wanted to share scripture with you it is found in the book of Acts second chapter and the 38th verse please read that for me and let me know have you followed this verses scripture or have you received the Holy Ghost since you believe? But the evidence of speaking in other tongues?
Some have that gift and others don't. I suggest reading 1 Corinthians 12-14 for a further explanation of the gift and how it works. It's a gift which is useful but not required for salvation. In fact the Bible says that tongues are nowhere near as important as the virtue of charity (1 Corinthians 13:13)
Thank you so much for this Father Scott. It was very helpful. But I do have a question tho, 2 actually. How come some Catholic priests refer to themself as “pastors” instead of priests even though the church clearly states that it is a Roman Catholic Church? Also they dont wear the Roman white collar, instead they wear a brown alb with a cincture tied around their waist when theyre not leading masses?
Great questions! "Pastor" is the title of the priest who is in charge of a parish and "parochial vicar" is the title given to the priest who assists the Pastor. So some priests are Pastors, if they have primary responsibility for the parish.
Those who wear other things (like robes with rope cinctures) belong to religious orders. Brown robes usually mean that the priests belongs to the Carmelite or Franciscan religious orders.
Antichrist religion
What you're wearing is a white tab. I've heard some priests say that the cassock is sacramental, the clergy shirt is not.
I am a Baptist Minister and I we wear a Romeman collar. I get mostly positive response. I do get negative response especially with the lhbtqi brothers and sisters.
Your English is poor! Roman, not 'Romeman'. And it's, LGBTQ people!
Not religious but I do like the look. I just think it looks smart.
What congregation it was
Fr, why is it called the Ronan collar
Probably because it's worn by Roman Catholic priests. Other types of Catholic priests (like Melkite or Byzantine, etc) don't normally wear it.
Am more interested in why people believe the nonsense in the first place rather than worrying how they cosplay
The reason you don't see priests in the streets is not that there are no more priests. It's because most of them don't wear clerics in public.

... you do realize that we are all condemned to hell.
Where did you get your information from? The Devil as this is not preached in a Catholic Church??!!
@@user-gl9jd3ih8h He's a Saint!
Do you run to Mass every living day of your life?
The Mass is truly a "Sacred Treasure," and, alas, our cold, dead faith allows it to remain so. If we valued it as we ought, we would hurry every morning to the church, careless of the snows of winter and the heats of summer, in order to get a share of the riches of this treasure.The Saints knew the value of one Mass: that was a dark day in their calendar on which they were deprived of the happy privilige of saying or hearing Mass. Sacred Treasures of the Mass by St. Leonard of Port Maurice will stir the soul to practice the Catholic faith with zeal and ardour. This saintly writer truly inspires the Christian soul to strive for perfection through deep and devout devotion to the Mass.
That's sad! Those guy were Triggered by a holy symbol. What is obvious to those type of people is the fact that their pastors or minister taught them TO HATE the Catholic Church. It's like what happened to Judas. Satan enters into him to so his job.
Anyways. You will certainly standout. It's like Christ is passing by. Well, it should BECAUSE priest represents Christ - Their Master. And one priest shared in his homily how he was nicely treated knowing he was a priest. And some takes the opportunity to talk to a priest when they see one wesring that shirt and collar. So it is a blessing.
Catholic priest wears long cassock, unless they wish to look like good old protestant pastor than ......everything goes
What are you trying to prove to me?
THE LETTER J IS ONLY 500 YEARS OLD. HIS NAME WAS NEVER JESUS. HIS NAME IS YESHUA, HE DOES NOT CHANGE! DOES YOU NAME CHANGE? NO, HIS NAME YESHUA MEANS SALAVATION. JESUS IS MAN-MADE WHICH IS A LIE. EVERYTIME THIS PREIST USES THE WORD JESUS AND DECEIVES YOU. THOSE SINS ARE HIS. THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD ONLY SPREAD THE TRUTH. SHAME ON YOU!
“Jesus” is the name “Yeshua” (Joshua) interpreted for the English language. Think of how many variations the name “Yeshua” has been through for other languages.
Do you get to condemn those too?
@@TheTrueOnyxRose ALL ARE LIES. YESHUA DOES NOT CHANGE. HOW MANY NAMES DO YOU HAVE? ONE! WHEN HE RETURNS HE WILL ONLY GO BY YESHUA. THIS IS WHY HE SAID, I NEVER KNEW YOU, BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNEW HIM.
@@jasonkeigley6424:
Even *your* name gets translated into different languages, genius.
@@TheTrueOnyxRose MY NAME NEVER CHANGES. JUST LIKE THE FATHER AND SON DOES NOT CHANGE. YOU REALLY NEED TO READ THE BIBLE. ANOTHER PUT DOWN, THANKS FOR PROVING MY POINT!
@@jasonkeigley6424:
Oh, so you’re in denial.
I just told you the reality of what languages do, and you won’t accept it. The next thing you’ll probably say is only true Bible is the one written in its original languages. Any other version is a perversion.
I don't know about them But I can tell you what I hate about the Roman Catholic Church Nothing they teach is true.
Starting with the basics The Saviors name is Yahshua meaning Yahweh is salvation They know this, but insist on lying and teaching the lie, that JESUS is his name
That's a lie
Yahshua said that he came to fulfill Roman Catholic doctrine is he came to institute. Institute means start Fulfill means finish
He ended suppers they say he started them
He ended the physical Priesthood that he started at the time of Moses That's Right he's the author and finisher
This clown says he's a priest With his Roman Collar LIE
What I absolutely hate is the idea that Yahshua had a successor When you raise from the dead you don't need someone to succeed you. "Lo I am with you always even till the end of the age" RC teaches he left and will return Yahshua is here now! present! Believing what they teach Which is a pack of lies will cost you your eternal soul
It's fine to have disagreements with the Catholic faith and express those things in a charitable way. As Christians it is good for us to dialogue and seek truth together. Please refrain from disrespectful comments and name calling (clown?) or you will be blocked from leaving comments on our videos.
There is no clergy in the Body of Christ!
St Paul talks about clergy in a few places: the qualifications for "deacons" are discussed in 1 Timothy 3, "elders/overseers/bishops" in Acts 20, 1 Timothy 3, and Titus 1, and "presbyters" in 1 Peter 5.
So I guess “presbyters” can be interpreted as “priests?”
@@TheTrueOnyxRose
Presbyter, (from Greek presbyteros, “elder”), an officer or minister in the early Christian Church intermediate between bishop and deacon or, in modern Presbyterianism, an alternative name for elder. The word presbyter is etymologically the original form of “priest.”
@@johnsagsveen8238:
…which basically means that yeah…the Body of Christ *does* have clergy. People can’t be trusted to be their own shepherds.
@@TheTrueOnyxRose no argument from me on that
