This thread is hilarious. A girl asks about t-shirts for her teen group whiffle ball game, and this is where we wind up.

She asked about t-shirts in general.

T-shirts on women as outer wear aren't traditional. Period.

Really, they shouldn't be typically worn by men as outerwear.

Thanks

Now I regret saying that :devil2:

Angel, you should have given the context of the question. Clothing worn for sport is of course going to be different than typical outer wear.

Is this going to be coed sport of girls playing against girls?

These games are going to be boys and girls ranging from 14 to 19.

Anyway,

I am asking this question because tomorrow, my churches young adult group
(which consists of teens) is getting together together to play whiffle ball, and dodge ball, and stuff that would be easier to play in a T-shirt, and a long flowy skirt. And my sister is playing in her church clothes and will attempt to be a lady tommorow, and is telling me that I should wear something nicer, and I am telling you right now............... NOT HAPPENING! I was asking what you all thought(pretty much just Mathew and Telephosphorus) and I got my answer.

Wear your normal church clothes and both of you sit out for the games. Is this a trad chapel where they are having young women play doge ball?

So now will someone be defending coed sports?

Those who are against coed sports have "hang-ups"?

The Church doesn't teach against coed sports?

Is this the sort of feminist - style "reasoning" we're going to be subjected to if we say we're against coed sports?

Is this a trad chapel that is doing this?

I encourage you to sit out and have your sister sit out too.

Obviously you don't encourage fun events

Sorry my long response was to Matthew about the no funds, not about your t-shirts Angel, I didn't quote.

Angel,
I have spent a good portion of my adult life finding, volunteering, and sometimes organizing/coordinating/setting up social/sports/game events for my child.
Now that he is a little older I've also done a small bit for young ladies that we know.
It's inappropriate for young women and men to be playing sports together like that. Again I encourage you and your sister to sit out, and do not participate.

I don't see how T-shirts can be such a controversial topic. I wear them all the time. It's the only thing really practical to wear for many things I do- especially work that requires short or rolled up sleeves, when it's very warm outside. T-shirts are not traditional, but that doesn't make them immoral.

Considering the many problems in the world today, I don't think that how men and women attire themselves, as long as it is modest and suitable, should be such a concern. Do you think that on my Judgement Day, Our Lord is going to be concerned with whether I wore a green T-shirt when I was shearing sheep? Even if it did have completely unobjectionable print on it?

Just because something wasn't done before VII doesn't mean that to do it now is immoral! If that's the case, I certainly shouldn't be on this computer right now.

Some trad Catholics have a very gloomy and strange view of how we should live. I've even heard some say that it's often objectionable to laugh and that to show one's teeth when they smile is uncouth. I really don't undertand that point of view.

I wouldn't necessarily object to wearing t-shirts outside on a hot day, or maybe around the home sometimes.

Overall, though, I don't care much for t-shirts on women.

that might be immpossible to do, since 15 kids who are all very good friends are getting together every month to spend quality time with one another, it would be a shame to not participate

No, we will even be judged for how we dress at home.

Please note that I said "as long as it is modest and suitable". Obviously, to wear immodest clothing is a sin, and as such, we will be judged for it.

A modest T-shirt is not sinful. Objectively, it covers all that it needs to and as long as it fits properly, there is absolutely no immodesty involved.

I know that some people feel that it is very important to be dressed extremely well all the time, and view T-shirts and such as casual clothes that have no business being worn under normal circuмstances. They are welcome to their opinion. However, there is no Church dogma stating that to wear casual clothing in your normal day-to-day life is a sin. It's a preference. We are given free will and may exercise it as we please.

Women aren't under an obligation to dress extremely attractively all the time.
