Well I missed this line on the first reading. All she needed to do was to dress more conservatively and set her socialization standards a bit higher, instead she chose islam. She classified her hijab as helping her gain respect in front of the day-workers. They don't respect, stunned by her maybe, respect doubtful. The hijab did nothing but hide her from societies eyes, it did not create respect for her or women.
I feel very sorry for this misguided soul. As far as things being complicated in the catholic religion, I guess the priests had better come up with better explanations. I've asked similar questions to many a priest, only to find my own answers in the Bible.
The competition is on for their very lives & souls. Islam sits in God's judgment seat over her life, but only God can judge her soul. May God have mercy on her and on the priest who couldn't inspire her continued faith in Jesus Christ.
Every time I see a caucasion or latin woman in hijab, I feel pity. Talk about a self-inflicted wound!
She should try walking in a Muslim neighborhood without a veil and see how much Muslim men respect women.

It breaks my heart to see any question go to Islam. But sometimes I wonder if that is another way for someone to get much needed attention. I mean a woman going down the street dressed in Muslim attire is defintely going to get attention. As far as Catholic preaching goes, I am Catholic, there are few and far between that can rise to the occasion. Nlow if we had more Father Corapi's there would be More vocations to the priesthood. He is not pc and shoots from the hip.And knows hell on earth and lived to tell about it!
