No offense, Ladislaus, but there is NO WAY in which this could be considered modest by a Catholic, much less a Traditional Catholic.
The skirt doesn't come to the knee, it's not modest. Full stop.

Nope.  This is a combination of pants and skirt where the legs are covered.  Pants are inappropriate because they're not masculine and because they can cling to the behind ... not due to the leg part.  Skirts are immodest because they expose flesh above the knee.  But this combination overcomes both concerns.  You cannot see the behind, nor can you see the bare leg, nor is it masculine like pants. 

People need to understand the PRINCIPLES and the WHYs behind things in order to be able to adapter the principles to new circuмstances.  In too many ways, Trads have become very much like the Pharisees ... clinging mindlessly to the letter of the law.  I do not hold this combination to be immodest ... provided that the skirt isn't tight and the leggings are not see-through but cloth-like and on the thicker side.

I apologize for the frustration, but I am constantly being attacked personally whenever I make an argument or take a position on anything.  And I'm at my wit's end.  Not because I really care about what anyone thinks, but because my intention is to have a rational discussion and argument, and it's constantly being derailed by this type of nonsense.

People need to stop this nonsense and actually address the argument.

I laid out a rational argument for why I would consider this modest (given certain conditions).  Go ahead with a rebuttal, but stop the personal attacks and insinuations.

Yesterday SeanJohnson called me a sodomite simply for defending a theological position held by an approved pre-Vatican II Catholic theologian (and which was in fact the common opinion in his day and which is still the common opinion among Traditional Catholic priests).  Today I am being told that I have taken a position based on a false allegation about my motivations for taking the position.  This is invariably a sign of somebody EMOTIONALLY (rather than rationally) clinging to a position, and when someone is incapable of making a rational rebuttal to an argument challenging their position, they lash out with ad hominems.

I laid out the rationale for why I consider this to be modest.  Go ahead and rebut the argument if you will, but stick to reason.  If you can come up with a rational argument, I am happy to change my mind about any subject.  If you can convince me with reason that it's the proper thing to do, then I might even fly to Rome personally to kiss Bergoglio's ring.
