Of Hats and Doilies, Mantillas, too
The people at Catholic Answers Forums have decided to declare Oct. 2 wear a veil to mass day. To be honest, I really don't get it.
Some claim to feel the presence of God more when veiled.
I think they just get this image in thier head of women kneeling at the alter rail, receiving communion on the tongue, with their little chapel cap or mantilla on their head.
And they think that image of Catholicism is more holy than as commonly practiced in modern times.
The thing is, these are all women in thier 20's and 30's. 40's at the most. It's a romanticization. They weren't around back then, or to young to remember.
They don't like the strange looks they get from peopl, including, sometimes the priest, when they show up for church like something from the 1920's.
So they're all going to do it together on 10/2.
