If this is the same priest, then he's doing SOMEthing. But what's the next step if the girl shows up again dressed like that? I could see the girl wearing a similarly immodest dress, but not the same one, and respond, well you didn't tell me not to wear THIS dress.
I knew a priest who regularly preached against immodest dress. For a week or two, things would get better, but then after a little while it would slide again. First you had one woman test the waters with a slightly short skirt. When she got away with it, then a few others came the following week. And within about a month they were back to veritable mini-skirts. Then the priest would preach about it again. And this cycle continued for years. At some point there needs to be SOME kind of actual enforcement.
On an amusing note, I guess, the primary woman who was always the trailblazer in pushing the limits, the one who tested the waters, got poison ivy all up and down her legs shortly after one of these displays of testing the water and had to wear an ankle-length dress for a few weeks to hide the disfigurement caused by the ivy.
I have noticed, and perhaps it's just me, that when it comes to questions of modesty in dress, it is as though the girls and women almost
want to be disciplined about it, that is, first wear the immodest dress,
then be told they shouldn't wear that. I find this way of thinking bizarre, but that's how it seems to be. I can't quite get my head around knowing it is wrong, neglecting to do what they know is right, having their hand called on it, then complying (at least for a while). Do the women
like getting the attention of the priest? Do they
like having their mode of dress called attention to? I have to wonder.
