Do you have proof that it is?Do you have some reference to prove otherwise?
There is no special requirement at our parish to wear head covering etc to attend the Traditional Latin Mass. Some do, but it is not required. The Mass is the Mass and there should be the same etiquette used when attending Mass whereever you attend.Do you have proof that it is?
Right, there should be, but that isn’t really the case in how it plays out.There is no special requirement at our parish to wear head covering etc to attend the Traditional Latin Mass.

It all depends on what you are referring to as proper ettiquette- dressing properly or wearing head covering? One is proper etiquette the other is a more common practice that is growing but not required.Right, there should be, but that isn’t really the case in how it plays out.
I’m glad you make that distinction, and I recognize it as well. The fact is that you can go into many parishes nowadays and see tons of women in skimpy clothing and men dressed like slobs, which is unacceptable at any mass. However, you will notice that in the most orthodox parishes, whether EF-only, OF-only or bi-ritual, this problem is curiously absent… Or is it so curious?It all depends on what you are referring to as proper ettiquette- dressing properly or wearing head covering?

Perhaps it is because some attend the OF on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation because they feel that they need to fulfil and obligation while most who attend daily Mass or at times that are not obligatory at the OF or at the EFare there because they want to be. It has more to do with the respect of those attending and not that it is an OF or an EF.I’m glad you make that distinction, and I recognize it as well.

Thank you for this post.The wearing of a chapel veil for women is not required when women assist at the Holy Mass according to the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite.** It is, however, the expectation that women who assist at the Mass according to the Extraordinary Form cover their heads, as was the practice at the time that the 1962 Missale Romanum was in force.** It is not, however, a sin to participate in the Holy Mass according to the Extraordinary Form without a veil.
Excuse me- I’m not understanding why you are addressing this to me.Thank you for this post.
I just saw I was being asked to provide documentation.
All one needs to do is visit a couple of OF masses and a couple of EF masses, and you will see that there are more women veiled, generally speaking at the EF masses.
This is not a judgement one way or the other. It is a fact, zab.
I’m not sure what you are trying to say here. Yes, it is a fact that more women wear head covering to the EF than the OF. It is also a fact that it is not sin to not wear head covering to the EF or the OF.Thank you for this post.

Who used the word sin?I’m not sure what you are trying to say here. Yes, it is a fact that more women wear head covering to the EF than the OF. It is also a fact that it is not sin to not wear head covering to the EF or the OF.
The document on the EWTN posted above shows that there is indeed more of an expectation at an EF mass that a woman will be veiled than there is at an OF mass.The proper etiquette for attending a Traditional Latin Mass is the same as for attending Mass in the Ordinary Form. Either you wear head covering or you don’t. It is not the form of the Mass that determines whether or not you wear head covering or bring your small children to Mass or how you dress.
There is an expectation is some places as we have seen evidence reported here on CAF but not in other parishes such as our parish.Who used the word sin?
To reiterate, I’m responding to your comment that:

That doesn’t mean that all women veil at EF masses or that no woman veils at an OF mass.
There is nothing sinful about either choice.
However, especially at traditional parishes, like FSSP parishes, there is an expectation that women veil and there may even be a note in the bulletin.
