Frank, did you see the article from Time Rag, er, Mag, that Fr. Z. posted on his blog? The wailing and gnashing of teeth is in a crescendo already.

If it were an established custom, that would be one thing.
But when I'm in the choir, I'm vested, and so to speak in uniform. Uniforms should be . . . uniform.
Now in our old higher-than-high ECUSA church, the ladies' choir robe included a cute little three-cornered hat. Both men and women wore Elizabethan ruffs. Even the robes had 16th century style sleeves.

Gotcha.
If it were an established custom
It was an established custom for women to cover their heads (how they covered them varied by culture or location) when in a church (which includes the choir loft). As with so many other long-held customs, it was tossed when the "spirit" of the council was implemented; ignoring the fact that the council fathers said nothing about changing the custom.
Our choir doesn't have vestments. The men in the schola wear cassock and surplice on the rare occasions when the schola sings in the sanctuary.

Well, if you don't have choir vestments (and the women don't wear them in the rare event that they are used), then it makes perfect sense for the ladies to wear whatever custom indicates (including veils if they so desire).
However, if a choir is in vestments prescribed by the church, and those vestments are uniform for men and women, then it makes no sense for some of the women to wear a veil . . . then they're out of uniform.

Sionnsar has decided to make this a Catholic Undead! Great news on Divine Mercy Sunday. Jabber away on all things “appropriate.”
To: ELS
I haven’t seen the article; I’ve been out all day. That TIME magazine is disturbed in any manner is superb news on anything liturgical and Catholic! They know “bupkus” about the Catholic Church or about real Truth for that matter.
Cheers!

Technically it's a candidate...

Right - we don’t need a new Undead home until April 31st.
Will I find the extra shower curtains if we move here? I never did find the vacuum cleaner belts, and now it’s academic, since we have the Dyson.

At our current rate of UT posts, we’ll make it without clogging the programming.

Given the monthly move, you’re right. What do you think about this as a May home?

I think it’s reasonably tasteful. The rent’s low, and neighbors aren’t THAT noisy. Plenty of room for the Tax Table and the 747 ...
And I think Pope Benedict would enjoy the company.

I think its reasonably tasteful. True. And maybe we can get the lower levels of the Castle cleared out.
