I hope you aren’t planning a career in diplomacy.

Have you forgotten that until relatively recently Catholic women wore similar headgear in church,,matillas. And Brides wear Veils. And very sophisticated wmen wear hats with veils.

THis is silly if you ask me.

I remember - not to start a new thread, bit I am always impressed by how "the times" are allowed to change some bits of how we interpret the NT and not others.

Just mentioned because I was rereading Paul's epistle to the Corinthians and, well, each time I read I notice stuff I didn't notice previously.

And if they didn't, we gave them a damn good thrashing, and then cut their breasts off.

Sorry (truly) for the harsh tone, but I hope you will admit the difference between voluntary and involuntary wearing of headgear

I recall that non-Catholic women who went to Mass with me would wear head covering, and come out of church still not Catholic. ( I still think that hats, in particular with veils, are flattering to women.) Laura Bush handled the situation perfectly both because she has an innate sense of grace and class, and because she is gracious and knows how to act when representing the United States.
