I googled the quote, the thread is on AQ. If what's going on at that FSSP chapel in Oklahoma is true(mocking those SSPXers who go to mass with skirts as well as those who go to confession), then anybody who does this ought to be truly ashamed of themselves for such a reprobate attitude.
On to the quote:
As far as the chapel prohibition question...
Yes, and yes.
Yes, it is per se ridiculous to have a "dress" code in church. And, yes, the chapels are free to do that if they wish.
These are crazy times. Many people truly have no idea what is appropriate in church, or anywhere for that matter. I believe in EXAMPLE. I don't like women in slacks (in church) any more than men in shorts. At my church we've even had some NO visitors show up in tight pants and cleavage. It makes me cringe. But I tell myself, it probably isn't their fault! God bless them! It is actually SAD! So, what a PERFECT time for catechesis, no? Set an example. They're not blind. If they come often enough, they will see how the women dress. They'll figure it out. Now, if over time they don't, then...
Our FSSP pastor gave some stern warnings from the pulpit to the women on at least two occasions over the years. He spoke of his chastity, and that of his altar boys. If a woman approached the Communion rail dressed that immodestly, he would pass them over!
Posting signs at the front door, or having busybody ushers be the dress police is many things. Smart is not one of them.
And please spare me the Padre Pio examples of him throwing women out of his church who were dressed immodestly. That, if its even true, was wrong. Saints are sinners too. Imagine the impression of the Church that some of those women took back home? How about showing them sadness of how they might be offending our Lord? Just a thought...
There's ALWAYS time to bring out the big stick. And I'm a big stick kind of guy. I just prefer to use it as a last resort when it comes to things like this.
This type of attitude reeks of the Protestant, "God accepts me just the way I am." Here is a news flash to the poster and to the Nouveau Trads, justification is not forensic, it is a real, actual, progressive change in the person. It is also amazing how this person abuses the "Saints and sinners" line to mean that you don't actually have to change, just come as you are. This is shear cheap grace. Sinners, does not mean that heretics, infidels, apostates, and hypocrites are welcome.
