Hi there. This is a message for the person who put in the Catholic Encyclopedia link.
Thanks for putting it on. The article is very helpful, but please note that it really cannot be used to understand the current use of the Stole in the Catholic Church, since that article was actually written in 1912. Though for the most part the use is the same now as it was then, there are almost surely some changes since that article was written, particularly since we had the Council. One example, it used to be a rule for the Stole to be crossed over the priest's chest ( meant to keep the Cross near their hearts, though bishops were exempt from this as they had a Pectoral Cross). This of course is not the rule anymore, and it's just worn straight down for us Latins.
I really wish they'd update that Catholic Encyclopedia. My grandma turned 90 last year, and the Catholic Encyclopedia articles are even older than she is. A lot of the stuff is just obsolete.
I went ahead and changed the link info. I hope it's okay with you.
I changed the term "Eastern rites" to "Eastern churches." This is now the preferred terminology for those -- Catholic or Orthodox -- who follow the liturgical, theological and cultural traditions of Eastern Christianity.
I removed the erroneous reference to deacons wearing the "broad stole" during Advent and Lent. The 'broad stole," actually a pleated chasuble, is no longer used in the Roman Catholic Church. User:Ericstoltz
[edit] Not just Christian
The article currently mentions the likely original use of the stole as being Roman (and thus Pagan). It should be noted that Unitarians use them. Also, many modern pagans, wiccans, and other groups use stoles. Humanist ministers use them as well.--Daniel 19:19, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
If such a thing were done it would be better to split the article and maintain cross references. Currently the article is about the Christian practice. 12.44.178.253 (talk) 22:04, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
- It's not a strictly religious garb either. Members of the Tau Beta Pi engineering honor society wear a stole (pics) during commencement. ~MDD4696 01:08, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, I see we have an article already on the Academic stole. ~MDD4696 01:09, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
