little_angel202 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 question to all you guys.... do tights/stocking/fishnets make any difference for the worse or better to the way you feel about girls? God bless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iacobus Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Tights and stocking don't affect me. Fishnet brother me, not becuase I like them but I see them and think that the person wearing them is of low morals. I know I shouldn't and that is why I don't like girls to wear them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovechrist Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 little_angel, for me anyway, it depends on how much you're revealing with those items. i'm fine with all of them, they mostly don't change my opinion, except... well fishnets really aren't that modest at all--even though some of my favorite singers take a liking to them. but tights and stockings don't make any difference to me at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 [quote name='ilovechrist' date='Apr 10 2004, 01:42 PM'] um.. thats just WRONG.. WHY would any guy wear tight jeans nowadays.. ick! i suppose its what the guy intends to do with being shirtless, cuz i usually do that when it gets to around 80 out here... and swimming? true i don't know what would be going thru the girl's minds, but i definitely don't mean anything by not wearing an undershirt while doing jackhammers into the water.. but thats just me [/quote] not really tight, just a lot tighter than most guys are wearing for jeans nowadays. Oh Geez, I [i]Have[/i] turned into my parents. I'm mortified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatholicCrusader Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 (edited) [quote]What do you guys consider modest dressing for guys and girls?[/quote] The Holy See defined women's modesty in dress a while ago. It still applies today, for it is a statement of morals. It has not been modified by any Pope or by Holy See; therefore, it still applies. Here is what the Church says: "We recall that a dress cannot be called decent which is cut deeper than two fingers breadth under the pit of the throat, which does not cover the arms at least to the elbows, and scarcely reaches a bit beyond the knee. Furthermore, dresses of transparent material are improper." -January 12, 1930, the Sacred Congregation of the Council, by mandate of Pope Pius XI A very good website that talks about this much in the following links: [url="http://olrl.org/virtues/pants.html"]Men's Dress Worn by Women[/url] [url="http://olrl.org/virtues/modesty.html"]Requirements for Modesty in Dress[/url] [url="http://olrl.org/virtues/modcrus.html"]Directives from the Magisterium on Christian Modesty[/url] For males I think it is fitting to not wear shorts unless need be (a sporting event or maybe even for yard work). He should always have a shirt on, preferably with sleeves. If not long sleeves, at least quarter-length (between shoulder and elbow). Swimming should not be done publicly for men or women, as it is scandalous to all. Even swimming with only the same gender can be considered wrong; however, this can be permitted in private. Men should also refrain, of course, from see-through clothing. Men's clothing is less lenient for many reasons, which are addressed well in the above links. Sloppy clothing (sweat pants, large shirts, unkemptness) should be shunned by both men and women. These are the directives of the Church--we should all embrace them as we do the Dogma of the Church.

qfnol31 Posted April 13, 2004 Author Share Posted April 13, 2004 I'm paraphrasing, but this is excellent! There once was a man named Msgr. Roncalli. He was at a very formal dinner. Also present was a woman with a skirt that was too short. The custom at the end of the dinner was for Msgr. Roncalli to offer the dessert to all those present. Well, the dessert that night happened to be fruit. He went up to the lady in a short skirt and asked her. She politely said no. Then he went around and asked everyone else. Later Msgr. came back to her and asked her again, and she once again politely refused. He went on elsewhere. Well, a short while later, he came back to the lady and asked her once more if she would like some fruit. As she had been doing, she refused one last time, but asked him why he kept offering her the fruit. His response? Only when Eve ate of the fruit did she realize that she was naked. The guy went on to become Blessed Pope John XXIII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 at Easter Mass I saw a young girl (under 15) wearing a very tiny short skirt. I just wanted to walk up to her and say, "That is not appropriate dress for church!" And what is her mother thinking?!? I'm sorry, I would not let my daughter wearing that.

Homestarlover85 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 i think the think with not dressing in an inappropriate manner is the fact that you are leading others to sin. That is where the problem is. In a chastity talk, the speaker was talking about how guys are so visually stimulated. Do you really want to be the reason a person is lead to sin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voiciblanche Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 [quote name='CatholicCrusader' date='Apr 13 2004, 04:31 PM'] [url="http://olrl.org/virtues/pants.html"]Men's Dress Worn by Women[/url] [url="http://olrl.org/virtues/modesty.html"]Requirements for Modesty in Dress[/url] [url="http://olrl.org/virtues/modcrus.html"]Directives from the Magisterium on Christian Modesty[/url] [/quote] Okay, I would never, NEVER argue with the Church, but I'm wondering if the same rules you posted still apply. Someone else had said that the Pope stated that swimsuits were fine in their appropriate time, swimming, but you said swimming should never be done in public. (Does that mean you can only swim in a pool you own?) Also, does the Church really say that women should always dress in head-to-toe dresses? I mean, if Christ came now, instead of 2,000 years ago, do you think His Mother would be dressed the same way Mary did 2,000 years ago? Like I said, I don't question the Church, but do these things really apply [i]now[/i]? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
