Bishops, Priests and Pastors Should Require Appropriate Clothing For Servants & Church Ministers

We should not allow ourselves to accept and just as bad allow our tolerance level to adjust with the trends of society.

For we as Christians and Catholics are required not to conform ourselves to the world but be transformed by the renewal of our minds with HIS Holy Word which HE has given for all persons of all ages and generations.

It is appalling that Catholic Pastors and their Bishops have not enforced the code for modest dress for lay ministers of the Word..  Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, Ushers, and Choir members when not required to wear choir robes for not all churches can afford such a luxury and long time parishioners who are known to own modest dress clothing which they wear to their jobs and to social functions...

But wear cut off short hot pants and under shirt to Holy Mass should be escorted to the door by appropriately dressed ushers!

There was a time in the mid 70's when bold Pastor then Father Charles E Duke of St Ann's of Metairie Louisiana would from the lectern stop preaching and say: "Ushers will you escort out that mother & her children who are disrupting the Mass"  or "Ushers will you escort out this couple who are not appropriately dressed."

When good hearted intentioned men trying to live a Holy Life cannot raise their eyes towards the altar without through no fault of his own become inundated with unclothed bodies in front of him...

There is sin, but not in the man simply attending Holy Mass...but in both the ones wearing the disgustingly vulgar and revealing clothing...and in the priest and bishop who are failing to correct it are just as much at fault as those disgusting enough to dress as such.

Sad so many  have such little respect for themselves that they make such impure choices.

I solemnly assure you that unless they change their dress permanently to a modest full body coverings that offer not suggestion of their intimate shapes that only their own marital husband wife and Almighty God should ever see....and then sacramentally repent and receive absolution of these sexual sins of seduction....

These will never get to heaven because only the pure of heart and character can be with God...sin & God cannot co-exist. Praise always be to the Father Son and HIS Most Holy Spirit!

Amen Amen Amen and Alleluia!
