You seem to be saying, Pepsuber, that a woman should attempt to "fit in" with her society by dressing as they do, so long as it isn't "overly immodest". So in America, a woman should wear a t-shirt with tight blue jeans and sneakers. That argument doesn't make sense to me.

You don't find a t-shirt and tight jeans to be immodest? Maybe that's why the argument doesn't make sense to you. :smile:

No, I DO find them to be immodest. I'm pointing out that by saying they should attempt to dress along with their society as long as it isn't "overly immodest", you're implying that t-shirts and tight jeans are ok.

He isn't implying that, but in practice, when his ideas are put in "practice" by the typical woman, they will excuse that sort of dress with that rationalization.

Tele,

I think Pepsuber is pulling our collective legs... or he is totally illogical, one or the other.

In another thread Pepsuber said that :
... many Amish eat the exact same stuff that others eat. They shop at Wal-Mart, etc. (for example, if you go to the Wal-Mart in Gap, PA, right on the border between Chester and Lancaster Counties, you will see the Amish buggies parked outside). How's that for logic?

I say: Three cheers for the eccentric dressers! Ready!

I'm trying to spot the illogic and failing. What does the Amish shopping at Wal-Mart have to do with the way Catholics ought to dress? I don't think Catholics should dress in a way that causes people to mistake them for Amish.

I was quoting you from another Topic, which probably not wise.

I was really beginning to wonder if you are serious about this or if you were just pulling our collective legs. It was obviously not the case.

My rather tongue-in-cheek comment was just to make the point of your illogicality.

What does the Amish shopping at Wal-Mart have to do with the way Catholics ought to dress?

Nothing really. Does Amish parking their buggies outside Walmart mean that many Amish eat the exact same stuff that others eat? I doubt it very much. You'd have to look in their shopping trolleys, I guess. Even then you wouldn't jump to conclusions. They could be doing a kindly act for a neighbour.

Now you say

Yet when Catholics dress like Catholics they are overly modest, if such were possible, of course.

The title of this thread is Selling Out? Rorate Caeli & SSPX Priest. I don't get it?
