Rigid Archbishop "Forbids" Seminarians To Wear Cassock

Toulouse Archbishop Guy de Kerimel, 70, France - who threw a rugby ball around during his induction eucharist - has visited his seminary and saw that some of the seminarians were wearing cassocks.

Toulouse is the place where St Dominic founded his order and St Thomas Aquinas is buried.

Kerimel went home and wrote a patronising June 2 email to the seminarians (below) complaining that "you did not quite understand my speech and, above all, what I was asking you." He added, "I therefore specify my desire: the wearing of the cassock is not permitted in the seminary."

Then he revealed his leftwing rigidity, "This is the law in force. I ask that this law be applied outside the seminary in the diocese of Toulouse, including for deacons." This arbitrary imposition opposes Church customs.

Kerimel is a hater of the Roman Mass.

"my defense of SSPX is absolutely without any motive except the defense of truth" Here's the "truth", @Ave Crux deleted, for obvious reasons.

As a matter of public record -- since it's clear I am a regular defender of SSPX, to whom the Church owes an enormous debt of gratitude -- it should also be known that my defense of SSPX is absolutely without any motive except the defense of truth, justice and Tradition, since I am decades-long, registered member of a thriving FSSP Chapel located in my area along with my family.

And, as far as empty seminaries, fortunately both those of FSSP and SSPX are full. In fact, SSPX had to build an even larger seminary in Virginia. Only the Diocesan seminaries are empty.

I know two young men about to enter the seminary. Both are entering traditional orders. Both are outstanding young men.
I pray our Bishops regain their sanity, and or courage and support the Return to Tradition, or Orthodoxy or more simply; The Catholic Faith.

I would say that the seminarians affected should seek new dioceses or orders to join, but, after recent events elsewhere in France, any bishop who would take them in would be risking being forbidden to confer Holy Orders, as a likely prelude to his being sent into early retirement. I just hope that men in formation move through with their eyes open. If you love tradition, you will need to love it …More
I would say that the seminarians affected should seek new dioceses or orders to join, but, after recent events elsewhere in France, any bishop who would take them in would be risking being forbidden to confer Holy Orders, as a likely prelude to his being sent into early retirement. I just hope that men in formation move through with their eyes open. If you love tradition, you will need to love it privately. Your bishop, and many of your fellow priests will hold it against you.

Better early retirement than a cowardly lukewarm "traditionalist" who will eventually loose the faith. 🤮

The Modernists know only how to destroy and tear down in their hatred for Tradition. This Bishop doesn't want Priests who strive to emphasize their priestly identity by wearing a cassock as a witness to their essentially spiritual, consecrated nature as "Other Christs"...Alter Christus.

And that's why seminaries are empty and Dioceses have no vocations....we have Bishops who want to denature, de-supernaturalize the priestly vocation and make them social workers instead.

“Clericalism has a direct consequence in rigidity,” he said, returning to one of the themes of his pontificate. “Have you never seen young priests all stiff in black cassocks and hats in the shape of the planet Saturn on their heads? Behind all the rigid clericalism there are serious problems.”
