i'm more apt to read links when either you say why you enjoy the particular article you are posting, or provide a snippet. throwing out links all the time without knowing why you find it interesting does nothing for me. why are you interested in this article? throw your two cents in! i promise we want to hear them!

hmm... when it was literally 103 F at Mass this past weekend the priest wore sandals... also I've seen the older sisters at my home parish wear sandals when performing as extraordinary ministers....

on another note I wear sandals to lab... and just about everywhere... and I have some great shearling flip flops for the winter :P

I hope that folks who are in town on vacation come to mass, even in their flip flops. Our pastor did ask parishioners who are serving (reading or EMHC) to wear something other than flip flops, & it was a touch funny coming from a Franciscan.

I'm going to cheer camp this weekend with my Catholic high school squad. It's Friday-Sunday, so we're going to Mass Sunday morning I was very happy to find out. We were informed that we are going in our camp clothes for the day--short soffee shorts and a tshirt. Not so happy. I tried to raise my concern about wearing shorts that barely cover our butts to Mass, but she replied along the lines of "oh, I'm sure it'll be fine. The whole squad will be matching." I cannot wear that to Mass in good conscious; I would feel unclean. Any ideas on what to do?

is there a way to bring a skirt (that won't get too wrinkled) in a purse or day bag to change into before Mass? that would be a good solution. if the person is someone you feel comfortable talking to, i would tell her that you respect how you represent yourself at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and you do not want to wear your cheer shorts to the Mass.

Our priests sometimes wear sandals in summer. Our church is designed for winter, and has no air conditioning, and only a couple of windows that actually open.

Probably the heels should be a little higher, but this is acceptable. You don't need the chalk, the board or that pointy thing, though.

I would trip and break my neck in shoes like that.
