    I remeber when that ritual was introduced into Episcopalian services. Anyone know when it was introduced into Catholic services?

      If you're interested in a serious answer as to why religious leaders do not take on a life of poverty as Jesus did, and why as a part of liturgial functions they wear what they do, I reccomend you go to a Christian forum and ask why, where there are people who are very knowledgable about Christianity and could give you a good answer.

      On the other hand, if you were simply looking to start a religion-bashing thread, then you asked your question in the right place.
      It's the church in it's materialism that decided those things though, not Jesus. Molly Bloom summed it up about what it said about rich people. But you continue to justify your faith to yourself, although it was completely concocted after the death as Jesus and owes more to political gesturing than any supposed messiah!

        It was an initiative of Vatican II.

          Vatican 2 was the bomb.

          I think it's sad many of its initiatives were reversed.
