At the Carmelite monastery we frequent, the sisters have no qualms about giving a shawl to someone like this and they asked me years ago to make a wrap around brown skirt in case someone comes in with shorts or a short skirt. They present these items with love, explaining with a smile that Jesus is present and the virtues of modesty.If they want to come in the chapel they must cover up.

While stationed in Havana, we attended St. Rita's, a short walk from our house. The girls more often than not wore tube-tops and very short shorts. The men normally wore guayabera shirts. And instead of shaking hands at the offering of a sign of peace, most men gave the revolutionary sign: an extended fist.

At the main cathedral in the Plaza de la Catedral, there are signs in English and Spanish advising that men must wear long trousers, and womens' blouses should have sleeves. Since I never wore long trou while off duty, I never got inside the Catedral.
