  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

My dioceses cathedral (Roman Catholic) used gold vestments for Christmas Eve Mass this year. At my own parish, white was used.
Our rubrics indicate gold for Christmas and Easter (Eve/Vigil through the day of) if available, white otherwise. Rich parishes may be able to afford another set of vestments for two days out of the year, smaller/poorer parishes would do well to use white for Christmas and Easter, and Purple for Lent, Good Friday and Maundy Thursday, if they don't have black.

In my own faith, prior to Vatican II, gold was common for Christmas, black was used for Good Friday and funerals.

In my diocese, I still see black used for Good Friday, and All Souls Day, but it’s not the norm.

Thanks for the response!

Peace!
