Evan just likes to act like he's something more than he is. He spread false information about his standing with the seminary and yet continues to have nothing to show for. I recommend he get into theater, since he likes acting so much.
Just like Evan (albeit to a much greater extent), Jaden, with all the fancy vestments during mass, sordidly claims that he is on track to study at St. Patrick's, even with that recent scandal at BBMCS coming to mind.
Too many of these head servers like Jaden, or in this case, Evan, with the "wannabe" mentality just because they oversee the altar server ministry at their respective parishes. And the fact that they aren't properly disciplined and instead are given much leeway to play priest is lowkey disturbing.
I agree. Priests these days have become so reliant on their head servers that they have become to blur the lines of right and wrong while letting them conduct ministry. This "wannabe" mentality needs corrective action, sadly it would take an act of Congress to get it.
Why is it that the Altar Servers at the Cathedral dont use gloves when handling Archbishop Ryan's Mitre(hat) & Crozier(staff)? Also, should Owen Bollinger genuflect while holding the bishop's crozier(staff) at the beginning of the Mass??
The use of gloves is not a strict requirement, however its use can generally be out of local liturgical practice or custom. Also, why shouldn't he or can't? I mean it is showing reverence.
He's not even a seminarian. Why so clerical?
ReplyDeleteHe’s wearing an altar server alb. There was Mass that evening after this event.
ReplyDeleteSo because a priest has Mass later he can show up at a street event in his chasuble?
DeletePretty lame excuse.
DeleteSo, Evan cant change into the cassock before Mass?
