Half my parish wears jeans to mass. Big whoop... we all pray the same... we dress up for weddings, baptisms and funerals.
Do you see any imams or oil princes telling muslims to shave and get the rag off their heads to be respectful to the majority of Americans when here? Heck, they might even pass that suggestion to their men...
Didn’t think so.
Sorry, didn’t mean to offend anyone. I was just brought up to dress nicely to show respect when I am in His house. I was taught that appearance *does* matter, something that I’ve tried to teach my kids. After all He’s done for me, if I can’t be bothered to pull on a skirt instead of the jeans I wear to the grocery and out in the yard...well...I just prefer to wear something just a little nicer, that’s all.

Don’t forget the soap and deodorant.
