“...this (head covering while praying) was a societal custom and NOT something that was expected to be doctrinally binding upon females for perpetuity...”
As so many of you protestants like to say, “Where does it say THAT in the bible?” I thought if it isn’t in the scriptures then you are adding to them. How consistent is that?
Oh, I see; you are more interested in the (current) traditions of man when it comes to something that has to do with Paul’s directives to WOMEN. Especially since it is a long standing Catholic tradition to cover your head when praying in church, and protestants are more interested in rebelling against anything catholic and in CLAIMING to follow “scripture alone” than in actually following scripture.

“...I guess you also believe women shouldn’t wear pants ...?
R&B:
Rather than ask what I believe, why not look it up in the sacred scriptures? There you will read:
“A woman shall not be clothed with man’s apparel, neither shall a man use woman’s apparel; for he that doeth these things is abominable before God.” (Deut.22:5)
Jesus commanded his disciples to not to address others by that title.
It could not be clearer or more clearly stated.
If some Catholic calls priests *Father*, they are disobeying Jesus.
NO ambiguity there, at all.
In the days when men wore robes, same as women.
Try again.
No, apparently you DON'T see anything at all! Are you familiar with the concept of Biblical hermeneutics? It helps us to understand and interpret Scripture in light of the who, what, when and where. Your OWN guys claim to use it even.
Once you come to comprehend this point, then we can address your pathetic understanding of what sola Scriptura is all about.
