Is it just me, or is there a link between priests who wear their clerics and remain faithful to the Church (overall, of course) vs. priests who prefer civilian garb and do not remain faithful to the Church. I've seen this with many Jesuits, but also otherwise (I think here of McBrien at ND)--always in a suit and tie of some kind, like a business man.
These men are priests and priests have a certain 'uniform'. What's the problem?

Dr. Macy is not a priest.
