Properly disposed means to be in a state of grace (ie. not in a state of mortal sin).

It was on Twitter shortly after he deleted his account. I forget which Priest tweeted it. I don’t think it was gloria.tv or CM’s Twitter.
I think it was an individual Priest’s Account rather than a website’s tweet. Will see if I can find it.
That bishop would be Wilton Gregory and I'm not surprised that he would do it as one his first administrative acts as Archbishop of D.C.
I also wouldn't be surprised if Bergoglio elevates Gregory to the college of cardinals within a year.
1983, very funny. That “rule” flew out the window when a Vatican II Cardinal was interviewed by an American reporter during a break who asked: with changing fashions, the interest of women was would the Council do away with the old head covering practice?
Clearly taken aback by the mundanity of the question, the Cardinal replied, essentially, the topic was trivial and absurd in light of the great spiritual and theological workings going on inside!
This clip was broadcast nationwide. The following Sunday most American women appeared in church SANS veil!
Here’s Fr Cusick explaining:

Yes a general direction to be suitably modest, not a dress code!
As for the nuns at the doorways and in the vatican offering paper shawls and veils, sadly this charming assurance of modesty as gone away in many places.
Sadly.
Interesting. It appears that he made this decision of his own accord though. I would disagree with him that priests shouldn’t opine on women’s dress outside of mass.
It is interesting that this did take place at a Latin Mass, and it makes sense that the woman in question was fairly new to the manner of dress at a TLM versus the banal Novus Ordo service.
It is to be expected that Gregory will cardinal in a year.
Please see post 88. Thank-you.
Absolute BS.
I don’t see a problem with sleeveless tops.
I have a problem with clothes that you have to keep either tugging up or down to keep covered, and usually those are the *chubbier* ones.
And the same for halters and one shoulder bare stuff and shorts that are too short.
Nothing we wouldn’t see on a beach. Although dressing that extreme wouldn’t be appropriate for church. But the priest that sent the tweet has an issue and it ain’t because of uncovered shoulders.
