Product Information

In 1215, the Fourth Lateran Council made it mandatory for all the Christian clergy to wear distinctive dress. Its purpose was not necessary to elevate the status of the Christian clerics; it was intended that they would catch the public eye if any member of the clergy is seen on the street. [1] However, the rules at the time were not the same as the modern rules, and the rules vary by jurisdiction. In both the American and the Scottish churches, many of the ministers will wear clerical collars with their suits. Again this is very common in the PCUSA and to a lesser degree in PCA and other Presbyterian denominations. In the Church of Scotland, this is a very common practice with the ministers.

The Church places importance on the clerical collar because it acts as a public sign of the priest’s role and commitment. According to the Code of Canon Law, clerics are to wear suitable ecclesiastical garments according to the norms established by the conference of bishops and according to legitimate local customs (Canon 284). While the Code of Canon Law does not specify the clerical collar per se, it does emphasize the need for clerics to be distinguishable by their attire, pointing towards the broader Church tradition of wearing the collar.

The clerical collar is not meant for the priest alone; it is also meant for the people he serves. Seeing a priest in his collar can be a visible sign of the Church and her teachings. It can act as a public witness, a kind of evangelization, even without words. As the Catechism states, “Because it is the sacrament of the Lord’s Passover, the Eucharist is also a sacrifice. The sacrificial character of the Eucharist is manifested in the very words of institution: ‘This is my body which is given for you’ and ‘This cup which is poured out for you is the New Covenant in my blood'” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1365). While the clerical collar is not a sacrament, it points to the sacramental role of the priest, especially in offering the sacrifice of the Mass.
