    • Jogging in shorts is definitely not acceptable for a traditional Catholic.

    Even if we think that it causes some minor inconvenience, we have to dress modestly.

    • Tele-  Thank you for your opinion.   I used to love shopping, but now it gives me anxiety.

    Sede-  It is really hard to find the kind of clothing you describe. :(

    • Dear PW,

    Do not worry.

    I will find out where you can get modest clothes, and I will post about it.

    Quote from: Sede Catholic
    Trad Guy, shorts are intrinsically immodest.
    They are not an option for traditional Catholics.


    So when you jog you would wear trousers in summer?

    That seems very impractical to me, nevermind the fact you would lose your physical stimulus by overheating.



    Here you go:  :laugh2:

    I was in a musical called "Good News" that was based in the 1920's.  The hemlines were ridiculous. I've always wondered if the costumes were historically accurate.


    It was true I'm sure. The fashion of the 1920's was horrible.

    Well I'm sorry but having an obsesssion with fine clothes seems to me an upper-class prejudice, when we should instead have an obsession about a healthy body and the cultivation of physical beauty. I like to dress very simple, considering I am a working-class man, and no simple does not mean sloven dress. Now usually I will wear trousers and jeans EXCEPT when exercising. I also don't wear suits either except for Sunday Mass when it is a simple two-button suit. Trust me I'm the 'low-life' there at my Church with everyone wearing fedoras, double-breasted suits, and trench coats, as if I came into a 1930's press conference.

    ...
    They all seem fine.  Try not to be scrupulous.


    Dear Tele,

    Padre Pio insisted that women's skirts must be: "...at least eight inches below the knee."

    Padre Pio wanted women to wear longer skirts than that.

    But eight inches was the very minimum length below the knee that he would tolerate women to wear.  

    Padre Pio was not being scrupulous.

    Those skirts are only knee-length.

    Therefore, they are sinful.

    • Sede, we have to distinguish between what is best and what is sinful.

    PW's best bet is to search catalogues that specialize in "modest" apparel, and to contact young seamstresses who specialize in making modest clothes.

    • The point is that Padre Pio believed it to be a sin for women to wear skirts shorter than eight inches below the knee.

    PW seems the type of lady who would rather not compromise.

    I am actually going to find out where such clothes can be bought.

    Tele, that is an excellent idea of yours about finding a seamstress who specializes in making modest clothes.

    Trad Guy, it is not about fine clothes. It is about modest clothes.

    Also, we should not have an obsession about a healthy body.

    And we should definitely not have an obsession about the cultivation of physical beauty.

    We really should not be deliberately cultivating physical beauty.

    • I should not have touched this thread with a 10 foot pole. I'm sorry.

    Scruples over clothing creates an occasion of sin for vanity for me, so I will bring it to prayer.  

    I don't want to compromise, but I also have to not look so different that my employers worry I've joined a cult or my mother has me institionalized.

    I'm teaching myself to sew, but making your own clothing can be very expensive compared to thrift stores or even good sales at department stores. Fabric is expensive.

    My only remaining question is about the leggings. This is for my daughter too, because long baby dresses are usually not much past the knee.

    • Trad Guy, I cannot think of a single Saint who deliberately cultivated physical beauty.

    The Catholic Faith requires modesty, not beauty.

    • What about stockings for your baby, PW?

    They should not be see-through or flesh-coloured.

    The Vatican once condemned flesh-coloured stockings, if I recall accurately what I have read.

    • Pope Pius XI condemned the sin of women wearing pants.

    I think that Pope Pius XI's condemnation of women wearing pants was in A.D. 1929, or shortly after.
