Modest dress with no slogans,pictures,or dirt ought to be the minimum.
The tux thing is kind of silly unless you are a penguin.

Excuse me; but, I didn't cast aspersions on Catholics. I asked a rather pointed question - in jest or otherwise, the point is made. Were I interested in casting aspersions, I would do so.

Right. And you can't deal with substance so you want to make digs at me thinking it will be of some use... How original. ;)

Really. Guess you'd have to point that out for us in light of the definition of what a bigot is.. Please, point out the bigoted things said specifically. This should be a hoot.

Please give us a break, you're a Catholic hating nutbag and everyone on this thread knows it. No. But thanks for playing. Bigot is just a label you guys throw because you're cowards and can't deal with the truth. Rather than deal with it, you mock me. I'm used to it. It's boring.

Yet another tired and boring card - the "church of one" argument. You guys really need to invest in some new ones.

You need to check your Bible. I referenced the Apostles. Last I checked, there was no Apostle Barnabas. Barnabas was a disciple. Seems you're reaching awful far in attempt to counter the scripture and have only met a wall..

Right and wrong occasions seem to be concepts for people with too much time on their hands and an overblown sense of their own self-worth in my experience.

Decorum becomes "interesting" shall we say, when ohhh, Jews are expected to dress this way and germans that... decorum.. you know. For all the people hollaring about "bigots", it's interesting that it's your decorum that says only Catholics can wear white (symbolically pure/righteous) where non-Catholics would have to wear - other than the pure/righteous garb. It is, shall we say, the genteel bigotry that nobody notices because they're just 'used to it'. ;)

Your posts speak for themselves . . . volumes.
Get those sheets pressed before the next midnight ride.

"Mrs Blair, a staunch Catholic, chose to exercise the "privilege du blanc", usually granted only to the wives of Catholic monarchs." _______________________________________ i guess it is the king, not the queen, who has to be Catholic.
I think you're missing the point. The way the dress etiquette works is that the privilige of wearing white is reserved for those women meeting both the following criteria: 1) Catholic 2) Queen.
Mrs. Blair only fits one of those criteria. As you might know, the office of Prime Minister is not a monarchical one.
I'm not sure what the big to-do is about this. It's not like they're being forced to wear yellow stars.
Once again, I believe if this was not the Pope or the Vatican, there wouldn't be an issue with most FReepers.

Give it a rest. You regularly cast aspersions on Catholics. In fact, I think it might be 98% of your purpose here.

Yes, I'm sure they do. Your charges, however, do not. Still waiting. Or are we to understand you are retracting your false accusation in light of the facts.. ;)

Hey, have you taught Christ a thing or two about Christianity yet? I mean, since after merely perusing the Scriptures you know it all - wheras everyone else in the last 2000 years or so has gotten it wrong - you've got to be someone special.
To: Conservative til I die
Regularly? Really? Can you point an instance out or is this yet another of the famous hollow charge nights.

Based on your lack of manners on FR this comes as no shock.
