Head coverings, skirts below the knee and no bare arms for women.

Thanks, paramedicgirl. Does that mean long sleeves or just not cut up to the shoulder?

Now I have another question that this whole discussion got me thinking about. How does a person know if a church is SSPX? And if I find that I wanted to go to Mass and chose an SSPX chapel not knowing what that meant and I wasn’t dressed appropriately, should I not attend the Mass? This isn’t a question leading to a fight … I want to know so if I’m ever in this situation I’ll know the best avenue to take.

Marlena’s church has rules. A young woman dressed inappropriately. She was not removed from the church, nor was she publicly reproached. Instead, she was asked to kindly remember that this type of church has a dress code. This was done after the services What is so bad about that?

Many of us attend churches without such codes. That is fine. But if you chose to attend a church with such rules why would you be offended if anyone approached you afterwords and explained the dress code?

I guess that I am not understanding the anger expressed here on the forum.

Thank you for being level-headed. We are now more upset by correction than by poor behavior.

This thread kind proves why Protestantism stills exists and thrives. The more modern Protestant and non-denominational churches don’t give a rat about what you wear to church, they are just super excited that people are there. It’s the sick that need the doctor, not the healthy. In fact, one of the local Protestant churches around here goes and recruits prostitutes, drug addicts, etc…to get them to hear the Gospel. I assure you they don’t have veils and skirts, but probably skin tight pants they got from the dollar store. Did Jesus go and talk to the well-dressed Pharisees or did he go talk to what the world considered scum?

Secondly, God doesn’t give two poops if you’re wearing a skirt or skin tight pants, he cares about your underlying intentions and soul. If this woman was wearing tight pants to be sexual or to attract men, then God disproves, if the woman had no other clothes or didn’t understand, then God have mercy on her.

The protestant church’s that I attended did care about dress, much more then any Catholic church that I ever attended.

Yes, the sick need Christ but they also need guidance. They don’t simply need to feel good about themselves and their relationship to Christ(although that is nice). They need to learn how to not continue in sin. That means that someone has to eventually talk to them and perhaps make the person uncomfortable.

I would like to point out though, it doesn’t sound like the young woman in question was a prostitute.

It sure does… Just not in the way you think it does…

Remember Jesus also turned over the money changers and drove the other sinners for defiling the Temple of God.

No one has a problem with outreach to people in need (which the Church of course does and we all pay for), but at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass a little common sense goes a long way, Paul spoke of this extensively, the importance of modesty for the Christian woman.

the dress code is that women wear long sleeves on dresses or blouses, long skirts or dresses below the knee, and a head covering, be it a hat or a mantilla, or scarf. men wear suits, or dress pants and and long sleeves over their elbows. no jeans.
men do not wear t shirts to our Mass, they wear long sleeved
dress shirts. or a plain long sleeved shirt.

Thanks, Marilena! I asked my question about the long sleeves while you must have been posting this response.

may I ask to whom you are referring as the liberal element, as a matter of charity? No, nevermind…but let me say, I am independent, not a liberal. I leave the souls to God…and the big things…the little things like clothing…faghettaboutit…if I’m at mass…what you are wearing is no concern of mine. I will smile and greet you, I will offer you my hand at the sign of peace, however, if you your head is bowed, and your hands are clasped in prayer, I will leave you to it. I will not heavy hand you into my way of thinking, nor threaten your immortal soul, not my job…I leave that to the the “extremists” among you to handle, and so far, it seems you are doing a bang up job.

it means long sleeves. you can look at sspx.org in the USA as they list their chapels.

:rolleyes: oh my goodness you don’t like my stand on the issue so typical of public forums you look for some perceived mistake I made. And then throw in a little dig.

Don’t you think it might have been more charitable to just counter me with some other scripture, kindly? instead of trying to question my knowledge my Lord?

The whole thing reminded me of this story in the bible, sheesh. :rolleyes: 😦

I guess I was sort of assuming that it would be hard to physically differentiate between churches so if I was on vacation in a different location would it be possible for me to confuse what church I was attending?
 
not if you packed a phone number with you:) its always good to write down and address of the Catholic Churches in the area you plan on visiting. that way, you know whether or not they are SSPX chapels or not. Also, you could call ahead. SSPX chapels are all listed at the SSPX sites.
