Perhaps that is why clergy persons are called
"Persons of the cloth", tho' I'll be 'frocked' if I ever
see anything resembling the cloth, whatever it may be.
Certainly not the black shirt and white insert thingie
substitute for a collar formerly (before, say, 25 years ago)
worn only by Roman and Anglican clergy, now everyone
including store-front churches.
So they can be defrocked, ok, but when are they 'frocked'
and what is the origin of the term?
