Long hair?

[Montie_Claunch]

Spyder1jcd:

…He once said in one of his letters that it was a disgrace for a man to wear his hair and beard long…

This was said on another thread, I seem to rember it vaugly. I can’t remeber where it is. Does anyone know if it really is wrong for a mans hair to be long (and I think also for a womans hair to be short) or if there is any further context that it needs to be put into? Thanks and god bless.

As far as I know the Catholic Church does not have any regulations about hair length for men or women. However, St. Paul said:
14Does not nature itself teach you that for a man to wear long hair is degrading to him, 15but if a woman has long hair, it is her pride? (1 Corinthians 11:14-15)
