C’è ancora qualcosa di Cattolico? L’abito fa sempre il Vescovo, specialmente in Piemonte
A commentator for Messainlatino.it criticized the attire of bishops from Piedmont and Valle d'Aosta during a gathering at the Sanctuary of Vicoforte.
The author, Natalino, noted that while the bishops wore Roman collars and crosses, their clothing lacked the dignity expected of successors to the Apostles. The report suggested that instead of lace or ornate garments, the bishops should wear appropriate attire such as a simple cassock or episcopal piped clothing, especially given the solemnity of the sanctuary. The commentary specifically mentioned that Bishop Oliviero Derio did not wear a classic bandana.
