I asked a question earlier, but no one responded. Why do Catholics ignore the Corinthians verse prescribing that women keep silent in the churches? Why have we taken such liberties with that, and do you believe it’s right that we do?

Among all the other changes wrought in the name of the 'Spirit' of Vatican II came women lectors and LEM's. This was a great mistake in my mind and one that is not too late to change. It will take several generations but it can and should be done.

I believe that women should keep silent and should cover their heads.

It didn’t used to, but now it grates on me when a bareheaded huss... err... woman gets up on the lector stand and reads. I think that’s what that passage means, they shouldn’t read, and they shouldn’t be altar boys, and they shouldn’t nag their men. And they SHOULD cover their heads. A woman’s hair is her crowning glory, and it’s distracting to a man to see it. I rather enjoy it, but it IS distracting and it leads me to great sin.
