Unfortunately, Cheryl, Hispanic TV from the USA, like the Univision and Telemundo networks, are also broadcast throughout Latin America. The people there see the immoral dress standards and hear the garbage hip hop and "reggueton" music, most of which was developed in New York and Puerto Rico and promoted by Jєωιѕн producers, and our massive propaganda machine tries to convince everyone on the planet to be just like us in the morally corrupt Western world, so people in those Latin countries imitate, ape-like, everything that we do in the "developed world". They are more familiar with Lady Gaga and Eminem than with their own composers and musical traditions. I have lived mostly in Latin America since the late 80's and I have a seen a tremendous decline in moral values since then, a lot of it due to the influence of TV and Internet, but also to the presence of international "aid" organizations who work unceasingly to introduce gαy marriage, abortion, feminism, and the entitlement mentality into the population. Protestant missionaries with millions of $$ to burn have also been busy eroding the influence of the Church. The Church itself has been riddled with liberals, most of them trained in Europe back in the 60's by the likes of Rahner, Congar, Kung, Schilibeex, etc.

The results have been predictable. The saying I quoted is an old one, and the people here are in a big rush to get rid of the old and bring in the "new."

It's still illogical.

Skirts must reach below the knees. They needn't reach the ankles.

So why are tights forbidden, and bare legs not? If the legs are covered to below the knee by a skirt, why does it matter?

Padre Pio would not even hear your confession if your skirt was not at least 8 inches below the knee.

Fact.

May I be so bold as to say, he was wrong about that?? Yes, I am claiming to know better. Shocking, I know.

And if your skirt reaches 8 inches below the knee, why does it matter if you're wearing tights or not??

I just cannot fathom the reasoning.

But why?

I should have thought of the explanation you so kindly provided. Recently when visiting with friends from Poland and trying to explain the new drinking game beer pong, one of them replied, that it won't take long for beer pong to show up in Europe. He said, first in the U.S., then the rest of the world.

Thanks PFT, it's not like I don't have enough to do today, now I'm measuring how far from my knee, down my leg is eight inches.

Keeping in mind that I'm vertically challenged, it's four inches above my ankle.
