I suppose not.

The whole point, though, is that St. Paul makes this statement with the same emphasis as other statements. Many of the Reformed who argue vehemently that St. Paul says something else, will ignore this completely.

The Bible alone dogma appears to be practiced more like - some passages of the Bible alone.

Somewhere along the way, most of women's head coverings became fashion accessories, something of pride. At that point, the spirit of that teaching was not just lost, it was perverted. Competition between women about who's Easter bonnet is the prettiest or marketing pretty chapel veils may get women's heads covered, following the letter of the law, but they violate the spirit of the teaching.

Not to make the, "they do it too" argument, but "Reformed" discipline in this area was only slightly earlier than RCC discipline in the matter. I remember tracking bird's nest hats from my place in the choir loft, well into the late 1960's. By 1976, when I was married in a Catholic church, the Kennedy effect seemed to have become universal.

We try to not confuse form & function.
