Lust: his fault or hers?

[captaincatholic]

Penitent:

His fault or hers? Both, I think. How could you not look when it’s so obvious and yes, I think someone dressing like that causes others to sin, and you at the same time for looking and being so distracted by it…but it’s our fallen human nature right?

I agree women have lost their perspective, their sense of modesty, and don’t give a rat’s butt who it causes problems for as long as they’re happy. And I agree with the third part quoted above that some actually seem to make a game of it.

So it’s up to you to be stronger and turn to God for the grace to be able to forego being so distracted by it.

Penitent

Ditto! The fault lies with both,not one or the other…

I hate when that happens!

Only the Moral Relativist would say it is her fault. They like to deflect blame from themselves onto others, thus making themselves the victum.

Tan Publishers has a great book out called “Dressing with Dignity” by Colleen Hammond. You could always buy 10 or 20 copies, and with your priest’s permission, leave them in the back of the church.

Canon law says that books displayed or sold in churchs must be submitted to the compentent authority for approval: i.e., it needs an imprimatur.

Can. 827 ß4 Books or other written material dealing with religion or morals may not be displayed, sold or given away in churches or oratories, unless they were published with the permission of the competent ecclesiastical authority or were subsequently approved by that authority.

That book doesn’t have one and I seriously doubt it would ever get one since the author used sedevacantist and sspx sources for some of the material.

I also am sure that you looked great and that is ok. So much of the modesty discussion essentially becomes one requiring that women hide their femininity to the point that only sackcloths are approporate attire.

I think that is untrue. A true feminity also possesses a true modesty and hence not sackcloths but attire that truly comes from a spirit of modesty and love, especially for the men who may be sitting next to them. It is not to be mean or controlling but an act of love for men who are more interested in noticing women’s dignity rather than ther flesh by asking them to dress a bit better than they have.
Orienthehunter:

Our masculinity or feminity are gifts from God and not something to be ashamed of.

I agree with you jegow, women are so obsessed with having rights to dress however they want, but they lose sight of the fact that we are supposed to dress in a manner pleasing to God and to Mary our Mother. THis means respecting our bodies and the other people around us. Just like you would find it innapropriate to show a 2 year old child a gory movie, it is innapropriate to dress in a way that might offend people at Church. it is all about respect and not about doing whatever you want.
