Traditional liturgical vestments

Terry Nelson, from Abbey Roads, Part of the Minnesota Church Militant, posts in a particular way. If you have never read him, the subtlety of his references to past posts, other bloggers, and the point he is trying to make can easily be lost upon you.

His most recent post is an example. Terry, makes good and obvious points, but it is the FACT that he is making these points about this subject that drives home the message. That being said, I have ripped an excerpt from his post that can resonate with anyone, and should resonate whether you like it or not.

Therefore many of us no longer understand or conceive of our churches to be "the house of God and the gate of heaven" - which in turn may partly explain why the Dutch can play soccer at Mass, in a church, or why dancing and other forms of entertainment takes place during the liturgy elsewhere.
.
Losing an authentic sense of the dignity and majesty of God, we easily disregard the proper decorum and dignity and protocol (ritual) in His Presence - which is due to His Majesty. We have vulgarized worship; overstepping our bounds, and we have made ourselves too familiar within the Holy of Holies. Therefore, the restoration of reverent liturgy, along with the revival of traditional liturgical vestments and decorum, can seem foreign and strange, even excessive to many of us steeped in contemporary culture, where the degenerate and profane has become commonplace and the comfort and ease of our casual lifestyle discourages any type of formalism.
.
Nevertheless, whenever we are in church, and especially during the liturgy, we ought to be aware that we have "drawn near to Mount Zion, the heavenly Jerusalem, to myriads of angels in festal gathering, to the assembly of the first born enrolled in heaven, to God, the judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood which speaks more eloquently than that of Abel." [Heb. 12: 22-24]
