    Quote from: Matthew


    Have I banned too many liberals from CathInfo? -- you seem to be itching to have a few around to argue with. You're even starting to snipe at your own side.


    That's because the only thing that seems to make Tele happy is looking down from his righteous perch upon those whom he deems not as holy, traditional, anti-liberal/feminist as himself......in other words.....everybody.

    Bitter, angry people are only happy when they are fighting with others.


    I guess you would consider St. John Chrysostom "bitter" for saying this about women who dress immodestly?

    Quote
    “You carry your snare everywhere and spread your nets in all places. You allege that you never invited others to sin. You did not, indeed, by your words, but you have done so by your dress and your deportment. … When you have made another sin in his heart, how can you be innocent? Tell me, whom does this world condemn? Whom do judges punish? Those who drink poison or those who prepare it and administer the fatal potion? You have prepared the abominable cup, you have given the death dealing drink, and you are more criminal than are those who poison the body; you murder not the body but the soul. And it is not to enemies you do this, nor are you urged on by any imaginary necessity, nor provoked by injury, but out of foolish vanity and pride.”


    I'm not talking about t-shirts here, my point is that a person who condemns immodesty is not being "bitter". He's being a good Catholic.
    Please ignore ALL of my posts. I was naive during my time posting on this forum and didn’t know any better. I retract and deeply regret any and all uncharitable or erroneous statements I ever made here.

    Clothes are so expensive that women need to dress in t-shirts?

    that is ridiculous.

    T-shirts are sloven and immodest.


    ...



    THAT IS IMMODEST? Come on, Tele. Sloven? Really? There is nothing wrong with that T SHIRT!
    Matthew 5:37

    But let your speech be yea, yea: no, no: and that which is over and above these, is of evil.

    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.  


    Is this a co-ed youth group? Just curious.

    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.


     :sad:

    Oh boy. Not a good idea. A traditional catholic "youth group?"

    Let's hear what goes through protestant boys heads when they have to go to "youth group."

    This is actually a longer T shirt for pregnant women. I wear these when I'm not pregnant, as they are flowing and do not form fit, and are good to do chores in. THIS is not immodest.

    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" CO ED events


    Fixed that for you.

    If you wore that in public in 1900 they'd think you were in your underwear.

  • It's a thicker fabric. It is not sheer at all. What is so immodest about it?

  • Well, it appears "t-shirts" can mean almost any unbuttoned shirt that isn't a sweater or with long sleeves

    Let's just go back and use old-fashioned standards when possible.  It's not that hard.

    A t-shirt on a huge muscular man isn't modest, and neither are most of them on women.

  • Tele.

    Here are the Mary-like standards, in case you were unaware.

    God bless you, friend.

    (By the way, T-shirts are not mentioned here as immodest.)

        THE MARYLIKE STANDARDS FOR MODESTY IN DRESS                              
                                     WHAT ARE THE MARYLIKE STANDARDS?

    "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 knees. Furthermore, dresses of transparent material are improper." (The Cardinal vicar of Pope Pius XI)

    1.Marylike is modest without compromise, "like Mary", Christ's Mother.

    2.Marylike dresses have sleeves extending at least to the elbows; and skirts reaching below the knees. (NOTE: Because of market conditions, quarter-length sleeves are temporarily tolerated with Ecclesiastical Approval, until Christian womanhood again turns to Mary as the model of modesty in dress.)

    3.Marylike dresses require full coverage for the bodice, chest, shoulders and back; except for a cut-out about the neck not exceeding two inches below the neckline in front and in the back, and a corresponding two inches on the shoulders.

    4.Marylike dresses do not admit as modest coverage transparent fabrics, laces, nets, organdy, nylons, etc. unless sufficient backing is added. However, their moderate use as trimmings is acceptable.

    5.Marylike dresses avoid the improper use of flesh colored fabrics.

    6.Marylike dresses conceal rather than reveal the figure of the wearer; they do not emphasize, unduly, parts of the body.

    7.Marylike dresses provide full coverage, even after jacket, cape or stole are removed and after assuming a sitting position.



    T shirts fulfill all of these requirements. In fact, even if you went with the more liberalized italicized standards there, they would be okay according to the Mary-like standards.

    Look again.

    Matthew 5:37

  • Not saying that every T shirt is Mary-like. I'm saying that ones that adhere to the Mary-like standards, yes, are indeed, Mary-like.

    Yes, actually, T-shirts probably existed in the 1950s when Mary-like standards were issued.

  • There are evil ideologies & forces behind many fashions today. The sodomites & feminist do not hide this.

    A t-shirt is not modest wear for grown women.
