We saw a few young ladies wearing barely there, threadbare jean skirts a while back with tank tops. Um, no. <br />As for the dress code for overseas Mass, useful information to file away!

I know when I was young the head ...I had no idea!!! I know when I was young the head covering was still necessary and shorts were out or jeans but I never heard of the rest of the rules you mentioned. Personally, I can understand being respectful but I think that is a bit much and more likely to deter people from going. I have a problem with those who demand total control for what I feel is an unjustified reason. And to embarrass everyone too!!I'm afraid organized religion is no longer for me. Too many manmade rules and intolerence in many cases.catsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375770995988927860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-62666424048087929042012-08-10T10:36:23.973-05:002012-08-10T10:36:23.973-05:00Terri, I agree with you, I think the American Cath...Terri, I agree with you, I think the American Catholic Church had to adapt in order to keep people coming, it's different in Italy, old alliances and family traditions still fill the churches and their coffers.<br />Thanks Valerie, it's fun now, not so much back then.Maria G.

Though my grandmother lamented the changes. She had the doily on her head and the white gloves and the whole shebang. When my mother was young the mass was still in Latin.<br /><br />I'm thankful it loosened up for my lifetime, but we still respected the place and experience. I haven't been in a long time now but seems to me the last few churches I attended they might as well have been sitting down for a party. No silence before. No quiet reflection. More mingling like some giant picnic in pews.<br /><br />I'm all for loose, but there's such a thing as too loose. Or I'm just old. :)Terri Osburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176989488447450585noreply@blogger.com
