Women: Ever thought about it? Embarrassed? Worried? Join us in wearing a head covering on Oct 2, 2005. This thread is for support and encouragement.

(If you wear one regularly, please feel free to join us in the discussion!)

If you want to debate head coverings, there is an active thread in which you can do so. My post there:

Well, why don’t a number of us choose a day to wear head coverings and then report back what we encounter?

I have long wanted to wear one but have been fearful of … well … I guess, looks. I have no reason to be fearful, but it just is back there in my head saying, "Nahhhh, better not, THEY might talk." Who is they? I have no clue. So why don’t we try it together and see what happens?

LOL!

I dunno. We’ll see. They have a thread to talk about their thoughts on it. We have a thread to talk about our doing it. If any of them feel a tug to cover their heads, or know of any other women they want to send our way, I’d be more than happy to have them join us.

Penny Plain:
Why?
Click to expand...
I’m sure different women will have different reasons. If you want to debate those reasons, the other thread would be more fitting. I listed my reasons there.

If you are asking why you should join us, there is no reason. I am not out to make people cover their heads. I am simply here for those who feel a desire to do so but want support and someone to talk to. I find myself a little nervous, really. A little scared what people might say or do. I figure other women might be in the same position. That’s all.

ETA: It is also a one-time thing if you want it to be. You might be curious and willing to give it a try for a day. We’d love to have you join us.

ALSO added: if you (general, not Plain Penny) are worried about the ladies at your church, you could always visit another parish for the day or go to a different service.

I hope that the non-veil women don’t come here and get as, (I don’t know the right word that won’t get edited).

You know what I mean.

I just hope that everyone can keep it civil here or start their own Anti-Veil thread.
If my wife was awake, she would put in an affimative.

It is a big challenge to come up with words to describe it, isn´t it? 🙂 I don´t know if it was only women though.
In any event, from all the silly fights I´ve seen here on CAF this is the one I understand the least 😦

Oh. Well, that poses a bit of a problem, huh? The link should still be valid and the thread visible for anyone interested. This thread is for joining and supporting the wearing of a head covering on Sunday, Oct 2, 2005. If anyone wants to debate, they need to open another thread.

That said, I do not have a clue what I will wear. I’ve heard the words mantilla, chapel cap, veil, and hat. So many options! (I had to look up mantilla and still need to look up chapel cap.) I am going to think about my options. Do you think a hat would be more out-of-place-ish?

Holy cow! It’s a non-veiled woman and I’m coming to get you! :rotfl:

Come on now! I’m a non-veiled woman and I don’t have a problem with you wearing veils. In fact, I don’t even have a problem with your October 2nd Wear A Mantilla day. I’m not going to be putting one on but I’m sure it’ll be nice for those who feeled called to wear one who feel a bit uncomfortable.

I was accused of being hostile. Nobody even seemed to notice that I said that those who attacked those who wear head coverings are just as bad as those who attack those who do not wear head coverings. And whamo! I’m accused of being a meanie because I don’t think that the Church still binds us to wear coverings. All I did was ask a question on how people obey Corinthians 11. It seems if someone is going to put forth an argument that we are bound to wear veilsbecause of this (which happens quite regularly) then I should be allowed to ask how far people obey Corinthians. Nowhere did I say anyone was wrong for wearing a veil and I didn’t accuse person in the last thread about telling people they must wear veils. This is what I said:
That said, head coverings are not forbidden and should be, in my opinion, worn by anyone who feels God wants THEM to do so. I don’t think that they should be telling anyone else what God wants that other person to do if the Church is not taking them to task for not wearing a head covering.

Don’t you all think that people are being attacked on both sides of this issue? Do people really think there is one sided attacking going on?

I don´t have a clue either, but hopefully no one will mind that your head is covered.
I wonder if someone will actually say something bad to you :whacky:

😛 Thanks for the support, Bear! The rest of your post had valid discussion points that would be great to start another thread with. This one isn’t to discuss those issues. We appreciate the support, though!

No, not at all.
The veiled women never said that this should be mandated.
The non-veiled women got aggressive for no reason.

You’re not going to get the modest veiling of St. Paul’s era unless you institute chadors, jabibs, and burkas. And yes, I object to all three.

Fear, envy???
Give me a break.
GIVE ME A BREAK!!!
Ya don’t seem to get the fact that you are no holier than any of the rest of your Catholic sisters. You don’t even LOOK holier if this is what you have in mind.

The fact is, you have never seen a picture of Mary.
Go figure it out.
What you have seen is someones idea of what Mary looked like.
You want to get down to facts???
And this in your post 91
Now I’m sure you’ll go on to argue further. Let me know if Jimmy Aking missed one of your arguments in this article:

Was just sarcasm.
But none of the posters who said any of this, got any of it back.

I see no examples of the veiled women becoming insulting or sarcastic. Do you? Especially from the women whom these comments were directed?

I’m not Catholic, but I saw the veil women being much more Christian than the non-veil women. If this is the humility that the veil women talked about, I hope to see all the women in church wearing one!

Tadly, while your discussion is certainly not without merit, this is not the place for it. Support only here, K? This IS an exclusive club–for HAPPY people. Happy, happy, happy. We’re all happy. Come on, help a sister out, please. This is NOT an extension of the other thread. This has a very different topic.

THE POINT IS IN WEARING A HEADCOVERING ON OCT 2.

No one is gonna wanna join us if this is what they see when they walk in the door. Please be nice. Please stay on topic. Please let your wife know we are looking forward to her affirmative.

Hey, it’s like our own Red Hats ladies club. How do you think this looks? Too big? Cause other people to need one of those super-dee-duper spy telescopes that rotates around corners? Hmmm… Maybe not quite right.

You have got that right!
By the way, a Chapel Cap is a round piece of lace or crochet that sits on the crown of the head, secured with one of those pins.

Not that I would wear one, of course.

Ah, thanks! I’ve seen them. As a matter of fact, I’ve worn one once. Felt rather conspicuous with a doily on my head! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/im/lol.gif Come to think of it, I went to a church event the other night after the Sat. Vigil and I saw a 50s-ish woman wearing that (although hers was much nicer and sturdier than the one I had worn) and about 5 young women (20s-ish) wearing bonnets. Seems the Mennonites were visiting. There were several comments about how lovely they all were and how adorable their little girls’ dresses were that went below the knee. No comments that I heard–to their faces or behind their backs–on the bonnets.

I suppose the “trick” is to start going to a parish wearing it, then people will assume that it is your custom where you are from and not care much about it. http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/im/lol.gif
 
GREAT IDEA! I say do it. It really sounds like fun to decide from all the choices there are.

Who knows, the whole modesty look could become what’s haute couture. It’s really and truly soooo attractive. There something to be said for leaving some things to the imagination. It’s a real departure from the skanque look that’s so popular today.

I hope this thread doesn’t become a scratch-fest like my ‘Women Scorn Veiled Women’ thread did. Females can take mean to a whole 'nuther level.

Good luck here, and have fun deciding what to wear October 2nd.http://forums.catholic-questions.org/images/icons/icon12.gif

First let me say, I will be wearing a headcovering on October 2nd.
I pray that those who choose to do the same will be met with kindness, not told they are not required to do so nor met with hostility.

I don’t think that people are being attacked on both sides.
If explaining why you are doing something is an attack to those who aren’t…Hmmmm.
The last thread stands as evidence.

When my children start to bicker, I know that the one who says, “I didn’t do it!” the loudest is normally the guilty party.

God Bless all of you ladies who want to be humble before the Lord.

Sorry, Happy, Happy, Happy!!!

Maybe a trend can be started and they will start selling Chapel Caps in the Catholic bookstores.
