Having been through the Catholic school system myself I certainly have no qualms in stating that the education system was better in times past, in both the Catholic and secular systems which then both taught Latin. Unfortunately the scholastic education that was once the norm seems to be becoming a thing of the past. Certainly the Latin language provides quite a foundation for picking up some Italian, Spanish, French, etc. There is absolutely no dispute in that.

Yep. On the other hand, if I come over from Eastern Europe to visit, I’m out of luck 🙂 Well, not me personally, since I understand English, but you get my point.
 
No, it was definitely called a mantilla back in the 60s. And most women just wore hats.
 
Just like the Immemorial Mass won’t die. E-ver.(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)
 
And if I were to walk in with neither, would I be asked to leave?
I have heard it happening. Sadly, this is why there is such apprehension of those who cling to the EF.

If I remember correctly, the custom was to be encouraged but not “required”.
 
I can’t answer that question. But I doubt you’d be asked to leave.

I’ve worn a hat, scarf, bandana and no covering at all at your parish. It is mostly mantillas for those wear a headcovering, but a fair percentage of women do not wear one at all.
 
That wouldn’t happen at my FSSP parish. I’ve seen ladies not wear anything on their heads and have never heard a word of rebuke given to them. Maybe one of the ladies in the parish may have an extra mantilla that they’d offer to you, or inform you of the parish store in case you’d want to buy one. But that would probably be as bad as it would get.

Absolutely not. It is not required. I attend the parish in question with some frequency, though I have never been on a Sunday. I usually wear a headcovering but not always. My observation has been that approximately half of women wear some form of covering.

or is a hat or scarf allowed?

Yeah, that’s allowed, really, as long as your head is covered.

Is this SSPX? Because the Church has made it clear that headcovering is not required, even at EF Masses.
 
That is good to hear.
I have had one such experience in attending an EF Mass.
I know a few others who have, just not here in my diocese.
Our Bishop, who had given permission for an EF Mass to happen weekly in 1990, made it very clear to the community that, while a laudable tradition, covering one’s head was no longer a requirement of the Church and that it should not become an issue and if it did and caused too much division, he would pull his permission.

In the 1960’s and before, most American women wore hats all the time- not just to church.

So did men, but removed them indoors (church or otherwise).

The change occurred at JFK’s outdoor inauguration, when he did not wear one.

This is wise. My mother had melanoma and even though she had a thick head of dark hair, it started on her scalp. It’s no joke.
