woo, hoo. Thanks for the quick response on letting us all know what happened. You learned something here and so, hopefully did the rest of us, sometimes we need to talk gently to someone who might not know the “rules”, far better to be told gently than to have those sniggering about her and, indeed, gossiping about “how dare she…” etc.
Do you remember the scene from “First Wives Club” in Goldie Hawn’s apartment when it seemed the trio was breaking up? It was Bette Midler’s line.Come on naysayers, what say you now?

Never seen it. And I thought I was being original.Do you remember the scene from “First Wives Club” in Goldie Hawn’s apartment when it seemed the trio was breaking up? It was Bette Midler’s line.
:bigyikes: gross!
.your right, they don’t.The old advice is still good advice. Clothing tight enough to show she’s a woman but loose enough to show she’s a lady.
BTW, guys don’t look so good in skin-tight clothing either

Makes you wonder how different our sacred tradition would look if Jesus had enforced “the dress code” on, say Mary Magdalene, instead of welcoming her with compassion…just a thought.the dress code is written on a large paper for everyone to see.
the guy could have told her about it. if she does come back,
and wears the same attire, i will talk to the priest.at least she knows now what not to wear to Mass…
Exactly. It would be hard to http://www.deephousepage.com/smilies/ignore.gif the way she was dressed. And that would become an occasion for sin for many others.
Do we really know that Christ didn’t tell her that her dress was wrong? Do we know her dress was wrong in the first place? I mean, we know what her life was like but I don’t think that the Mary Magdelenes of the day tried to call that much attention to themselves lest they be stoned. At the very least, like the woman at the well, I’m sure that Christ let her know that her lifestyle wasn’t right.
I wasn’t aware that 1st century whores wore skin tight pants… And how do you know Jesus didn’t enforce it? She must have ended her prostitution and repented otherwise she wouldn’t be a saint now, would she?
I don’t think that is an appropriate way to speak of anyone, much less a saint. The Bible does not specify what Mary Magdalene’s sins were, only saying she was once demon-possesed.
Your post disturbs me. Who can assume the woman at issue with the OP is a “whore” based solely on her attire?! Who can assume the same of our beloved Saint Mary Magdalene?! And even assuming the worst of Mary Magdalene’s status when she humbly came before Christ, dare any of us forget how Jesus’ compassion transformed this “sinful” broken woman into one of the most hallowed and powerful witnesses to His resurrection??? Do you suppose this was accidental, unintentional–or rather–a teaching moment? Can we so readily abandon His lesson and dismiss the *apparently *sinful out of arrogance, blindness or lack of faith?!?
