Women should be covered up and silent in the Church.
I think the level of female involvement and noisemaking is inversely proportionate to the number of vocations produced in a parish. Women are some times so busy jabbering and attention seeking, that you don't have much time or peace to think about whether or not you have a vocation to the religious life or marriage for that matter. There's nothing like a covey of pushy harridans to destroy even the most purposeful suitor's resolve.

Phrases like "suitor's resolve" are going to hurt your cause a lot more than a covey of pushy harridans. |

"Tenthly, one should pour tea into the cup first. This is one of the most controversial points of all; indeed in every family in Britain there are probably two schools of thought on the subject. The milk-first school can bring forward some fairly strong arguments, but I maintain that my own argument is unanswerable. This is that, by putting the tea in first and stirring as one pours, one can exactly regulate the amount of milk, whereas one is liable to put in too much milk if one does it the other way round."

I usually wear some type of head covering at Mass. The few times I haven't would be because my kids yank it off and I just give up, or I can't find it for some reason. I honestly don't understand the obsession some men have in this topic. I understand that it is in the Bible. But the church has not made it law. I am not sure exactly why if it is so important. To me it comes across that it is not essential to salvation.
I don't think men are "obsessed" about it. However, men, not being the ones that have to wear mantillas/scarves/hats/etc, are more inclined to agree that they should be worn, and, like a concerned wife nagging her oh-so-macho husband to take his medicine, have taken it upon themselves to convince us that covering our heads in church is something we should do. I have always covered my head in church, but I feel the same way as verenaerin. This is a topic that gets beaten into the ground like no other. I feel like it's a very small thing overall, probably a question of custom rather than morality, and I don't see this level of scrupulosity from the men over their own behavior and practices. |

Perhaps if men returned to wearing fedoras everywhere outside of Church, women would get the drift about head coverings. Borsalino or Dobbs were my favorites, until they were completely out of style.

I think this thing gets so much attention from trads simply because it was something that was done "back in the day" and isn't done now. Trads dislike and/or are suspicious of anything that is removed or changed. And probably rightly so. But I have to admit, I find it very hard to care about this issue. |

You have GOT to be joking? Please tell me this is a joke!?!? Funny thing, in my church, it's the guys downstairs with rowdy toddlers chatting away like it's water cooler time. Talking about the fight or the game the night before. Women upstairs in the crying room with babies are paying attention. Funny attitude you got there though, woman cackling like a bunch of old hens....you single? |

And seriously why is there so many dudes commenting on this thread? What do you care if we cover our heads or not?

Why? Because it's an Apostolic Mandate, and the evidence of feminazism I've seen here and elsewhere is actually pretty destructive.
If Catholicism means anything, poisonous 19th century movements shouldn't have much to do with it.
In any event, thanks in large part to feminazism, men are remaining single or staying away from American women all together in favor of more sensible groups of women.
