How did this get into a discussion of women saying they’d need to go to confession if certain men turned up to Mass?

Ridiculous.

Catholicism is not an either/or, 'we must admire GOD ALONE and have absolutely no admiration for any of his creatures.

What next, we aren’t to admire any of his other creations? No admiration for nature? For paintings, sculpture?

At the very least you might ponder that God is in all of us; we are made in His image and likeness. Did not Jesus tell us there are TWO great commandments, one of which involves loving one’s neighbor as oneself?

Again, you admire what you want; but I don’t believe you can impose your interpretations onto the rest of us. 😀
 
If you like Leggings…then ok…they are not the proper thing for a “Lady” to wear…here are my thoughts on the subject of dressing appropriately…appearance makes a statement of being self-sufficient, clothing impacts the perception of competence, confidence is gained through the way we are treated by others by what we wear, clothes are a very powerful way to communicate who we are, what we wear affects the way we feel about ourselves. Wearing revealing clothes or trashy clothing indicates one is rebelling, or unhappy, or depressed, or have low self-esteem, or maybe lacks knowledge of what is appropriate. Or just maybe don’t CARE about themselves! God created us and gave us this wonderful Life as a Gift…what we do with with this Life is our Gift to Him! Amen! So love your life , feel good…and live your life like someone left the gate open…👗👠👜😄

Unhealthy obsessions with what other people are wearing can also be an indicator of unhappiness, depression or low self esteem. You know, knocking others down to make yourself feel better about your (in a general sense) shortcomings.

Uh huh. And what about an outfit such as this one says there is a lack of competence or confidence on the part of the wearer?

These ladies look fine…cause they have coverage…what I am referring to is when women wear Leggings without coverage…:roll_eyes:
 
No…that is not what I am referring here…just quoting from information in Psychology Today…YES!🙃😉👩‍🦰👩‍🦱👩‍🦳💅
 
Just wearing leggings meaning you have not previously referenced proper coverage.

Which is it…you can’t say it’s fine in one picture and then say it’s something improper for a Lady to wear.

The pictures above are basically November to April here, and I don’t see anything wrong.
 
Unhealthy obsessions with what other people are wearing can also be an indicator of unhappiness, ……wow you are so wrong…this is NOT an obsession! Please don’t LABEL me…😭

Just dress up with style and leave the Leggings at home…here are pictures that indicate nothing but CLASS!

A wardrobe reflects who you are…people look at others all the time…demonstrate that you take your appearance seriously…and please dress proper for Church…everyone is looking at YOU!

LOL, OK…I have zero, zip, zilch, nada, no issue with women wearing leggings, and TBH I find it very classy. I honestly don’t see what’s not?? Maybe some of the other women can help me out here. What’s not classy about a long sweater, leggings and boots. That’s been pretty much the winter staple of class here where I live for women for decades, and they’d find that pic hilarious…they aren’t going out in that when it’s in the teens…single digits, or below zero. I’m not going to post pictures…I don’t see the reason behind it…

I apologize, but there is nothing wrong with women wearing leggings. I just don’t see it, and really won’t. What’s the difference in what you have posted above here and the same lady wearing a long flattering sweater, leggings and boots? How is that different than wearing a skirt/dress, hose and boots (or shoes)? I’ll hang up and listen.

I thought you clarified and said no leggings when there’s not a top providing appropriate coverage.

In any event , the picture of the woman? Yeah, I think I’ll pass on your clothing advice.

And if you’re focusing on anything other than the Liturgy and the Eucharist, your focus is in the wrong place, regardless of how matronly you’re dressed

Muting now.

You know what I mean, I am sure when I say we should not be physically admiring the opposite sex,

The topic of the image and mirror of God is one for a new thread, just what that means and its i plication and application through history.

The Virgin Mary would not physically admire a member of the opposite sex, however she would physically admire a rose.

The Virgin Mary loving her neighbour as God has commanded.

The Virgin would not be going into synagogue and saying if that model were at Synagogue or the Temple, she would need to confess .

Here is what Jesus says,
admire the image and creation of God, in all things, and stay away from all forms of scandal and lust.
And saying a person would have to go to confessioon after seeing that model dressed like that in Mass is indicating that person realises her thoughts are disordered enough to lead her to the confessional.
We also cannot have double standards, one for males and one for females.

I also think these dress for Mass threads are incredibly first world and monied to a large extent. We can afford all those fashions or shop for decent clothing in second hand shops. Even people in our world cannot due to financial constraints.

A woman going into Mass with revealing cleavage is likely to send as many guys to the confessional as proposed in that picture of the male model. Or not if they have custody of eyes and very importantly, the mind
 
There’s an important point in that parable that we miss, due to the differences between our cultures and that of Jesus. Guests to a wedding like the feast described were given the festal garment by their hosts. So it’s probably not a parable that can apply to what people wear to Mass. It’s about using the gifts that God has given us.
 
I do not think things like women wearing skirts or men wearing ties should be mandatory, but use your common sense and try to dress modestly. I generally wear the same thing to church that I wear every day. I mostly wear button-up shirts, and khaki pants or black slacks. My logic is, is that you should always be dressed like you’re going to church.

Or perhaps it indicates the self confidence of not caring what others think.

Perhaps it indicates poverty or perhaps they are “holy fools”, detached from the world.

You seem so sure of yourself when you attach meaning to someone else’s actions.
