You are totally correct, but I feel that you are being too diplomatic.

To wear symbols of dissent against the faith at mass, is behavior which is at once blasphemous and sacrilegious For the record, many of us frequently see a very prominant symbol of dissent being worn at mass.......many masses......in some location at every mass. By the priest. When a priest wears the stole over the chasuable - on the outside - it is done so as a symbol of dissent. This was told to me by some prominant dissenters.....er......presbyters. In fact, any aberrations involving vestments, are symbolic of dissent. Including substituing blue for violet/purple. As in all things, the clergy lead the way.
