• A question of gender

    It seems to me that one rarely sees a priest who happens to be a woman happen to wear a maniple.

    Actually, one doesn’t see many people wear the maniple these days, for reasons that I’ve never quite understood.

    Why, when one does see such a thing, does it seem invariably to be sported on the left forearm of a priest who happens to be a man?

    Your thoughts please.
