Has anyone ever actually witnessed someone being refused communion, or even entry into chapel, due to immodest dress?
Once in front of St Nicolas du Chardonnet, as we were speaking with the priest, he noticed a miniskirted girl about to enter the church. He broke off our conversation , explained to her that she wasn't properly dressed, and her embarrassed male friend came to the priest to explain that he was bringing her to visit a church for the first time.
The priest's reply was that her dress was a scandal and that bad example has far more effect on others than a good example, and that she could return when she better dressed.
And as if nothing happened, the priest turned to us and resumed the conversation.
