Why Do Priests Wear That?

Liturgical vestments are the distinctive articles of clothing worn by the Catholic clergy -primarily at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. In this episode, Kevin and Scott take a look look at the purpose and history of each of these liturgical vestments.

Hello thanks for great video! Finally i got my question answered why is chasuble raised by acolyte during consecration.
But i would like to know when is a pontifical solemn mass actually pontifical e.g. when a bishop is presiding at a mass which is actually in his own diocese instead a mass where the bishop is not in his diocese, like it was a week ago in Kraków when bishop a. Schneider presided a solemn 'pontifical' mass while he was not in his diocese what are the differences in the celebration then. thanks

I believe the pontifical mass involves the bishop celebrating mass at his own cathedral church, but can also occur when a bishop from another diocese receives permission of the resident bishop, which I would assume was likely the case with Bishop Schneider if he celebrated a pontifical mass in a diocese other than his own.

Not exactly a priestly garment, but there is also the vimpa worn by acolytes selected to hold the mitre and crozier at a mass celebrated by a bishop. It is similar to the humeral veil and is also used as a sign of respect and reverence.

Wonderful video. Looking forward to maybe a video on the historical of casual clerical clothing?

Wonder if the Palium has any association to the vestments used by doctorate degrees at graduation ceremonies. ??

Looking at that lacy alb, more reminiscent of a woman’s negligée than a sacred vestment, I think the question should be “Wh do priests wear THAT?”
