That’s exactly correct. If women don’t want to be treated as sexual objects they should not dress as sexual objects.
Most women wear leggings because they are comfortable, not because it’s sexy. But, unless a shirt/blouse hangs over their rear, it’s not appropriate for church.
VERY TRUE. = My beloved Darla is young, very beautiful & dresses modestly (though fashionably) at church, at work & everywhere else.
(It’s called being a LADY.)
ImVho, some of the so-called “modern fashions” for teenaged girls/women are nearly as revealing as going about in the nude.
(And they wonder WHY heterosexual men look at them??)

I teach my boys not to have anything to do with women who dress immodestly. Chances are if they dont respect themselves, they certainly won’t respect their future husbands.
We only go to traditional masses, so it’s not an issue for us. As a general rule the priest is the one that has a discussion with someone dressed immodestly, as he is the one responsible for the decorum in the chapel.
Having said that, most novus ordo priests seem to be so spineless on this issue (with good reason as their Bishop will not back them up) that I could see how this woman would feel frustrated and speak out. My advice, if your pastor won’t man up and deal with it despite your pleading, then change to another parish/chapel. If that’s not possible- then “make a mess!” :).
If they don’t want men to watch the commercials, they shouldn’t advertise.
