I remember that!!!! That is why we HAD to have our little chapel veils tucked in our little purses in grade school...to avoid the shame of the dreaded Puffs!!!!

Now that I think of it, I think my mom had a 'mantilla'...it was longer on the sides and it had a little plastic comb sewn into it so that you could attach it (to your 1970's bouffant do) w/o having to use a bobby pin.

It was about this same time frame that I started to 'question' the Church. I remember really obnoxious, smart a$$ boys, who as altar boys, could go behind the altar, but the sisters who taught us couldn't because they were women...anyone else remember that? I can remember thinking how wrong that an adult woman, who had dedicated her life to the church couldn't set foot back there, but Bobby so-and-so could.

When you were thinking that, you were a child, weren't you?

Good Question (of the church re men vs women)

I reluctantly admit that when we called our new Priest, I did not want a woman.

(this is Episcopal)

I wanted a Good Looking Man (ha)

We called a woman, and I believe she will turn out to be the finest priest we have ever had.

Her sermons are incredible.

Thank God, He didn't listen to me.
