'The apparel oft proclaims the man' - even in the hills

Whether one agrees or disagrees with Fr Tony Flannery he can make good radio.

In an interview with Aine Lawlor today he spoke about his current situation.

He recalled his heading off to join the Redemptorists, buying that special white shirt to which the roman collar could be clipped. He also referred to the wearing of a black hat at 18.

Things don't really change that much.

One can log on to Dominicans Interactive and see young men in Glendalough, seemingy heading for the mountains wearing religious habits.

On that particular day it was a struggle to get to the top of Mullacor, wearing any sort of clothing resembling mountain gear.

In a religious habit? And why? A photo shoot?

My update on Fr Tony Flannery's tribulations.

Sort of on topic.

I'm currently arguing on Twitter with two conservative USA Dominicans, one in Washington and one in Rome.

There are other Brian McKevitts out there. Time for a purge.
