Yeah, and when women show up without head coverings someone plops a kleenex on their heads. That’s better than not having any covering? I think not. Just another in a long list of why I’ve quit the Catholic Church.
I suppose everyone can find reasons if they look hard enough for them. On a scale of 1 to 100, this is -5.78, however.
Apparently you didn't read the article all the way through. The majority of Catholics no longer wear head coverings, even though we once did pre VCII. To leave the Catholic Church over wearing a head covering in reverence and respect for God, is a very flimsy excuse. I'm guessing your quibble is far deeper than that. You are always welcome home.

oh c’mon.
Sure it’s silly and can make a person roll their eyes, but everywhere you go there’s going to be some sort of silliness.
I see the same types from all different types of denominations - “Look at me! I’m holier than you!” - and they have different ways of expressing that sentiment, but we shouldn’t allow it discourage us from practicing our faith.
LOL - Classic!
Now that's just silly.
Gain some perspective for Pete's sake and come on home.
And donate a box of doilies and bobby pins for the ladies (they had two of them in the narthex when I was a kid -- and that was for Episcopalians!)
Unless you filled out a lot of paperwork, I bet you are still a Catholic. We welcome you back with open arms. All it takes in sitting down and talking with a priest and then making an appointment for the Sacrament of Reconciliation — what used to be known as Confession.
You sound a lot like the immature adolescent who left in a huff uttering numerous profanities when I told him he couldn't wear his doo rag into the sanctuary a few weeks ago.
The covering was just following "the ways of the Church". After going to a private Catholic High School and listening to the anti-Jewish and anti-Protestant propaganda, I pretty much left the church.
Oh, by the way, we were told that all Catholics were obligated to vote for Kennedy because he "was better" just because he was Catholic. (I got sent to detention for disagreeing).
My dad straightened me out on the Kennedy family with the story of Old Joe, the bootlegger.
I have my faith...It's in my heart and soul.
You must have quit a LOOOOOOOONG time ago! Haven't seen that practice for 40 years.
You have got to be kidding. Tissue=renouncing. Now I have heard everything.
