| Re: womens head cover | Rosa | Tuesday, August 24, 2004 |
Question: I've read your response to Rob on Tuesday, July 20, 2004 and the link that you included there. I've heard something else that I'm wondering is true, and if it is it may be helpful to people with that question. I've heard that in the time period, a woman's hair was a sensuous temptation to men and so all forms of attraction should be hidden. So more than a being a specific instruction to wearing an actual veil, it is an instruction to be modest in dress and action, to avoid scandal among the genders. Any input on if that's true or not? |

| Question Answered by Mr. Jacob Slavek
Dear Rosa, Sorry, I really don't know. I've never heard that before but I suppose it's possible. Perhaps there is a historian that reads this forum that knows for sure and can reply. Thank you, Mr. Slavek
Footer Notes: (a) A Eucharistic Minister is clergy (Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion). Laity are Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion and should never be called Eucharistic Ministers. (b) There is no such Mass called the Novus Ordo. The Current Mass is the Roman Missal of 2000, or the Oridinary Form of the Mass. The Tridentine Mass is the Roman Missal of 1962, or the Extraordinary Form of the Mass. Please refrain from using the term, Novus Ordo. Thanks. (c) The titles of Acolyte and Lector belong exclusively to the Installed Offices of Acolyte and Lector, who are men (only) appointed by the Bishop. These roles performed by others are Altar Servers and Readers, respectively. |
