Beautiful vestments!

Yes, I agree. Traditional Catholic vestments were beautiful too,

Then some decided to go with bedsheets...

The first photo reminds me of an opera or stage play....also robes etc. used in various cult rituals....especially the head pieces.

The second photo reminds me of the KKK.

I realize the catholic church puts great value on how their leadership adorns their bodies.....and each piece has a meaning as do all things in the catholic church....art work, idols, design of the cathedrals....all about lifting up the building and the leadership.....but it is this very reason IMO that all these things are distractions....though catholics seem to think they enlarge their worship.

I suppose to some they need the stage affect....but for me I do far better with a simpler and unencumbered worship service that is more central to Christ Himself and not the leadership, rituals, and church building itself.
