I watched bits of the Holy Father’s mass for the Assumption in South Korea and noticed that a great number of the women were wearing what looked like mantillas. Is this a common practice in South Korea?
 
I really can’t say for South Korea but, I’m the only woman who wears a mantilla in my local church. I sure wish more would join me.

Yes, it is. It is an interesting place–you have this practice but then you’ll also have an extremely hard time finding anyone who receives Communion on the tongue or even a priest who is willing to administer in that manner.

Thank you for that scripture.

I chose to veil because it’s the way I was brought up and because it also helps me remember what I’m doing. I get into “worship mode” when I put my veil on as I enter the Church. I also veil while praying. It’s my way of giving respect to out Lord and to the Holy Church.

We don’t “do” a fundamentalist reading of scripture. Below is the teaching of the Catholic Church concerning covering.

Another objection is based upon the transitory character that one claims to see today in some of the prescriptions of Saint Paul concerning women, and upon the difficulties that some aspects of his teaching raise in this regard**. But it must be noted that these ordinances, probably inspired by the customs of the period, concern scarcely more than disciplinary practices of minor importance, such as the obligation imposed upon women to wear a veil on their head (1 Cor 11:2-16); such requirements no longer have a normative value**.

I am aware of the church’s teaching concerning covering and that it’s not a requirement. I do it because I want to. It helps to keep me humble and grounded in my faith.

My post was not for you – but to remind Chrome – who said to read Corinthians 1 - 11:6 – that we don’t do a “fundamentalist” reading/interpretation of scripture. Covering is your own personal choice.

I think Asia might be like that in general. Definitely a practical, real-world example of Pope Benedict XVI’s Hermeneutic of Continuity.
