Why Wear a Roman Collar?

Question: Why do priests wear a Roman collar? Answer: The practice of priests wearing the Roman collar devel-oped in the mid-nineteenth century as an alternative to wearing the cassock which in some places was seen as impractical or which was even outlawed by anti-Catholic legislation. Since its introduc-tion, it has taken different forms, and if you visit different coun-tries today, you will see variation in what priests wear. The Code of Canon Law simply observes that priests wear “suitable ecclesiastical garb” according to the judgments of the national bishops conferences and local custom (no. 284). The US Bishops have instructed that outside of liturgical functions, a “black suit and Roman collar are the usual formal attire for priests. The use of the cassock is at the discretion of the cleric.” Priests who are members of religious communities are to follow the rules of their institute regarding the habit or other approved clothing. In the end, whether a priest wears the Roman collar, a religious habit, or, as is the case in many European countries, a suit and tie (to distinguish them from Protestant clergy who wear a collar) the goal of their clerical clothing is to serve as a sign of their commit-ment to guide and to serve, and to also allow them to be truly pub-lic figures because they are ordained for the service of all. ©LPi

¿Por qué usar un Collar Romano? Pregunta: ¿Por qué los sacerdotes usan un collar Romano? Respuesta: La Práctica de los sacerdotes usando el collar Romano se desarrolló a mediados del siglo XIX como una alternativa al uso de la sotana que en algunos lugares se con-sideraba poco práctica o que incluso estaba prohibida por la legislación anticatólica. Desde su introducción, ha tomado diferentes formas, y si visitas diferentes países hoy, verás variaciones en lo que los sacerdotes usan. El código de Derecho Canónico observa simplemente que los sacerdotes llevan "atuendos eclesiásticos adecuados" según los juicios de las Conferencias Episcopales nacionales y las costumbres locales (n. 284). Los Obispos estadouniden-ses han instruido que fuera de las funciones litúrgicas, un " traje negro y cuello Romano son el atuendo formal habitual para los sacerdotes. El uso de la sotana queda a discreción del clérigo."Los sacerdotes que son miembros de comunida-des religiosas deben seguir las reglas de su instituto con res-pecto al hábito u otra vestimenta aprobada. Al final, ya sea que un sacerdote lleve el collar Romano, un hábito religioso o, como es el caso en muchos países euro-peos, un traje y corbata (para distinguirlo del clero protestan-te que usa un collar), el objetivo de su ropa clerical es servir como un signo de su compromiso de guiar y servir, y tam-bién permitirles ser figuras verdaderamente públicas porque están ordenados para el servicio de todos. © LPi
