Portsmouth Bishop Philip Egan, England, drove on March 8 up to St Michael’s School in Burghclere which is run by the Society of St Pius X.
He called this on Twitter (March 8) a "happy visit" and even published a picture of him surrounded by five SSPX priests and the local parish-priest Father Bruce Barnes. All of them wear cassock, except the bishop.
Five days earlier, Bishop Egan installed Father Matthew Goddard as the parish priest in Reading. Again, Father Goddard and his two assistants were in cassock (below).

Why is the article pointing out that the bishop who traveled to the sspx house is in a clergy suit...that was the custom there before the council...long before...it was also customary for priests in their own “house” as it were to wear the cassock if they wished...it’s pointed out more than once which is odd since it’s an unnecessary gripe...

Maybe so people could just know who the Bishop is.

He’s the one with a pectoral cross chain coming across his shirt...the writer was simply wrong in the criticism

Even Msgr Escrivá and Archbp Lefebvre wore clerical suits when they visited England. It's been the custom for Catholic clergy in this country since penal times.
