You can sense the people’s respect for the church by how the people dress for its meetings. At the local Catholic Church I see people attending Sunday services in shorts and T-Shirts, and the priest dressed in beautiful vestments shaking their hands as they leave.

If there were no confessionals or forgiveness, how many people would be in the church?

I understand where you are coming from. But I try to look at it as at, least they came. I mean Mass should be a "dress in your best" , but sometimes when life gets moving at warp speed it becomes, "come as you are".

I have had to go to Mass in work clothes before, because if I didn't I would not make it to Mass at all. Schedules do not always permit me to get dressed as I would like. Now I will tell you that no matter how hot it is, I do not wear shorts to Mass and generally not jeans, well not blue jeans anyway.

“At the local Catholic Church I see people attending Sunday services in shorts and T-Shirts”

Due to protestantism that has creeped into the church, and also the following garbage, which is more protestant poison.

1. Greeting each other (shaking hands) before the start of Mass.

2. Shacking each other’s hands after the Our Father.

3. Guitars in the chorus.

4. Taking communion in the hand.

5. Clapping after a Mass (before it’s over).

6. Coming to Church dressed like you just left the beach or working out in the backyard.

I could go on and on, but I think you get my point. Every bit of this irreverent nonsense is taken from protestant services. Even when firm quidance comes from the Vatican it is mostly ignored by the people in the pews.

what do you suppose that the woman with the ‘issue of blood,’ who was healed by touching Yeshua’s Talit in faith, was wearing?

What was the thief on the cross wearing?
