Hugging Pope: On Saturday, Pope Francis concelebrated Mass with a group of young Jesuit priests who, against Canon Law, were dressed as laymen or worse. After Mass one of them, Fr Nicolò Mazza, asked the Pope for permission to hug him. Francis hugged him very strongly and said: “This is indeed a hug among true men.” Then he recalled how as a Jesuit he was taught to hug his confrère with a certain distance. Directed to Fr Mazza he added: “This was not o.k. I liked your hug more.”

THE PRIEST'S ATTIRE My son, let thy modesty be known to all men; walk as you have the model prescribed by the Church. If thou dost not conform to the law of the Church, thou shalt be as the heathen and the publican; see therefore that thou despise not the law of thy Mother; she has decreed what shall be the color and the style of thy clothes; OBSERVE HER RULES. She has prescribed simplicity and becomingness in priestly attire; COMPLY with Her rules. How many there are among my priests who ARE ASHAMED OF MY UNIFORM! They belong to the Royal Priesthood and they Disdain to wear a royal crown. They have renounced the world and yet they love to wear clothes of the most worldly pattern; they are my soldiers and scarcely have they enlisted and been enrolled when they rebel and cast aside My uniform. They are my servants yet they strive to please men; they are clerics and they appear as bridegrooms; they are of the world, therefore they live the world and the world loves them. O foolish men! They are esteemed indeed by worldlings, but they are an ABOMINATION IN MY SIGHT; THEY ARE ASHAMED OF ME BEFORE MEN; I SHALL BE ASHAMED OF THEM BEFORE MY FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN.
