I thought you would get the point that I was referring to the court room. There are certain dress codes that one must abide by when they go to court. And I’m sure that most judges would ask that a person wearing a to remove it, unless for some good reason such as a religious garb or some medical reason.Why? She’s not actually a judge
Not quite, I’ve actually recently written an exegetical paper on that specific pericope and it seems there’s a pretty strong, although not absolute, consensus (more clear in the Greek idiomatically - same thing in the Pshitta) that the covering of one’s head refers to long hair. It is a Western lay custom for men to take hats off their heads in church, otherwise this passage would would preclude any kind of ecclesial headgear (miter, biretta, zucchetto to name the Latin ones) - if you’ve ever seen a Syriac and Armenian liturgy, a monk or bishop’s hood remains up the entire time from start to finish.
Wow, and to think those nuns made my sister keep her head covered with a scarf during mass many years ago. Little did they know they were counter to Corinthians and in sin. Yikes!1 Corinthians 11 : 4 - 5 “Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head…”
7. " A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man."
This is where the Church got it’s rules…:byzsoc:
I think you read that backward… women today are the ones sinning according to Corinthians. As are most bishops, cardinals and even the pope.
Read it again…the nuns were following Corinthians.
Don’t some monks wear hoodies to cover their heads?I mean the episcopate get to wear mitres, and women can wear head scarves, why shouldn’t lay men get to wear something? Especially with male pattern baldness on the rise.
To say nothing of the Knights of Columbus Honor Guards!
Right. Nothing like announcing to the world you have a medical condition.
Usually wearing a cap for those that would do so with a medical condition is less of an announcement than NOT wearing the cap.Right. Nothing like announcing to the world you have a medical condition.
Someone in an earlier post mentioned this as a reason for wearing a cap…don’t blame me.Right. Nothing like announcing to the world you have a medical condition.
I know but when you allow for exceptions, people may think that that’s the only reason for wearing them. My preference would be to allow them universally, as long as it’s in good taste and not too distracting. If we allow t-shirts and shorts, what’s wrong with caps?Someone in an earlier post mentioned this as a reason for wearing a cap…don’t blame me.
The Bishop does not wear his miter during the gospel.
Right. The respect we show is not about God loving us as we are. The respect we show is about how much we love God.From what I have been told by someone who has authority, there is no dress code in the CC. As long as you are wearing clothes, it is good.
A toupee?I mean the episcopate get to wear mitres, and women can wear head scarves, why shouldn’t lay men get to wear something? Especially with male pattern baldness on the rise.
It’s settled then, have the men give their baseball caps to the women.1 Corinthians 11 : 4 - 5 “Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head…”
