RC clergy around Fort Worth don’t wear birettas very much. If a male priest wears one around here, people will probably figure he’s ACNA. If a female priest wears one, people may think she’s making fun of ACNA priests. But if you want to wear one, go for it.

Didn’t see this earlier. Sending them now in hopes they can have a retroactive effect.

If this isn’t too personal, what caused you to set foot in that church?

I’ve never understood why “Deacon Joan” or “Bishop Joan” sounds very normal, but “Priest Joan” sounds weird.
