SSPX's standard of modesty?
« on: March 20, 2022, 06:46:18 PM »
Has anyone here ever asked his priest exactly what constitutes immodest dress?

I asked a SSPX prior before, and he couldn't give me any standard of what constitutes modest vs. immodest dress! This seems to be a pandemic within the neo-SSPX.

From one neo-SSPX chapel's bulletin:
Quote
Dress code requires modest, decent and proper attire in church, since the Presence of God is here. Traditionally, Catholics will wear their Sunday Best. Ladies and girls please wear a head-covering and a dress that goes well below the knees when sitting. Men and boys please do not wear sports clothes or athletic shoes at Sunday Mass.
This is mediocre, nothing about hemline or sleeve-length. "Well below the knees" is subjective.

I am curious as well. The standard outside of Sunday Mass appears to have changed over the years. We used to hear sermons about modest dress. Now, it seems as Catholic parents, we are not just going against the cultural grain when telling our girls to wear skirts, but also against the grain of most other parishioners at our Society chapel. It is more than a little discouraging.
