Question: Heyb rother, my question is about clothing. I like to wear tube tops but i dont know if its wrong. I'm fully covered, nothing is out of line about it. It is still wrong?
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Suzanne: Tube tops, or any other kind of strapless and bare shouldered garment is on the borderline of modesty depending on the garment. This also goes for bare mid-drift garments which I think was popularized by Britney Spears. Some of our women-folk on our Spiritual Warfare Discussion Group have mentioned that they were taught that anything that begins with a "B" must be properly and completely covered. Such garments are never appropriate to wear for Mass or any other Church function. I think that tube tops are prohibited when visiting the Vatican, but do not remember for sure. God Bless, Bro.
