Worth a look

• Sr. Mary Martha has a good post about religious orders, reminding – with her usual humor and candor - us that monks and friars aren’t gangsters.
• Father V. at Adam’s Ale has a discussion going about clerical collars, and Fr. Schnippel at Called by Name adds his thoughts to the topic.
• Fr. V. also takes a look at the bear on the Holy Father’s coat of arms.
