Thousands of Catholic virgins and married women offered their lives in martyrdom in early Christian times.

But the modern trad woman complains if she has to wear a shirt covering her elbows.

We are cooked.
How much of sin is this anyway? Venial? Because at my chapel it's common in both the elderly and young females. In fact I would say tight clothes and transparent fabrics is more of an issue (though both exist where I'm located).

The following was written by Céline Martin, sister of St. Thérèse of Lisieux. She lived until 1959. It gives insight into the kind of father they had.

“He would never tolerate, either for himself or for anyone in the house, a careless appearance, or any lack of modesty in dress. We should not have dared, in his presence, to have had short-sleeved dresses, only just to the elbow. What would he say of the world today?” — The Father of the Little Flower, published in 1955

If the times are more corrupt, then we as Christians must be more pure. Not less.

You are toxic
We need to be more pure.

My posts had nothing to do with purity.  They were just pointing out that having women be chaperoned in this day and age is not possible.  Unless men like you who feel it is necessary, step up and do the job. 

What would you like to see happen?  Do you want the single women, young and old, of your chapel to ask you for help?  Will you do their grocery shopping?  Will you protect them in a bad neighborhood?  Women are told they shouldn't go out because they are dependent,  but who steps up to be depended on?  Who are safe men?  Who can women count on?

In my case, I have my husband and sons, but what about the women who don't have that? 

Many people from the internet read these posts.  Some our scrupulous and will become very afraid to do anything because they don't want to offend God.  Are there men in their chapel that they can count on?  How do those women learn how to ask men for help? Do only the pretty women get help?

Honest questions for discussion purposes.  If you think this is toxic, then I am afraid that you are not trying to understand the issue either.

What about gathering together on a video chat platform to pray and converse, or spend time with one another after Mass?
This sounds really nice.

Yeah, this is excellent. The bishop did a great job on this. I haven’t finished it yet but it’s definitely good stuff!
