Lets be honest most trad men do not have either the knowledge, nor the will power to enforce this in their households.
They have given up the ghost.

Excuse me but it's not all so relative like you are making out.

There again is culture and style, vs modesty. They are two very different and distinct things.

In the Middle Ages, women did not show ANY skin. In the 1900s, they showed ankles and forearms. Nowadays, (it is allowed, not required, not ideal) to show partial upper arms and full lower legs (i.e. below the knee). This is called change in style.

We have 2 bishops (at least) and a cleric who worked directly for the pope say that showing forearms and lower legs is allowed. There's a further allowance for shorter sleeves.

If you argue against these allowances, you are attacking Church authority. There's no other way to spin it.

For all you puritans out there, what do you think about feet? To me at least, they are way sexier than elbows, and, still, during all Church's history people were allowed to wear open sandals and go bafefoot.

On this day and age, there are probably a few Trad men who might sin when they see feet, and it would still be ridiculous to require women to wear only closed footwear. Meanwhile, I have yet to hear about someone who will have serious temptations when they see elbows. Do we have any around?

I don’t think their argument is about elbows, it’s the amount of skin showing. The elbows are just a reference point.

My husband would agree with you, he laughed when I told him about this thread, thought it was April Fool joke.I am reminded of a friend whose family fled Iran years ago as they opposed the Ayatollah. She said sɛҳuąƖ assault and rape isn’t diminished by whether the woman wears hijab or not as the men become obsessed with ankles or wrists or generally just go weirdly perverted. So anyone who is turned on by elbows… lol get some help ((have asked a few Catholic men, they agree)). Quit this puritan nonsense on this forum, it’s not what being Catholic is about.
