Should women wear

[quote name='BurkeFan' date='Dec 9 2004, 04:28 AM'] What was the reason for all of a sudden declaring the divinity of Christ all of a sudden in the 4th century?

Re: head coverings
Many of my best female friends got chapel veils for Christmas. [/quote]
I don't follow. Are you referring to the question of Christ's two co-equal but unconfused natures?

Yeah. My point was that it wasn't declared to be a doctrine out of the blue, but because it was true and the Church held it to be true. Celibacy was already practiced, it was not as if the rule was some draconic measure against the priests.

The same canon law applies to both. [/quote]
This is not entirely true. At the LAtin Mass, one follows the liturgical laws of the Church as they were applied in 1962.

[quote name='homeschoolmom' date='Dec 9 2004, 12:29 AM'] So... what do you all think of head coverings...? [/quote]
If not required, highly recommended. I'll stick with St. Paul and the practice of the Church for her entire history, until now.

I think i like the idea of wearing a head covering. But where would i get one?

[quote name='spathariossa' date='Dec 9 2004, 12:38 AM'] This has nothing to do with a movie. I've been Catholic for 20 years. I think I know the differences between the churches. [/quote]
Since you were born in 1983, I somehow doubt you have been studying the differences with a critical eye for 20 years.

Nope.
There is only one canon law in the Church, and head coverings are not mentioned in it.

It is custom in the Latin Mass, not a requirement. You cannot throw a woman out if she does not choose to cover her head.

Give her a break.

Besides she did not say that she was studing the Church for twenty years, she said she was Catholic for twenty years.

Lets not bring age into this. Young does not equal dumb. I know fourteen year olds that know a heck of a lot more about the Catholic Church, it's history, dogma, doctrines and teaching than some fiftey five year olds that have been in the Church their entire life.

The Indult (by its very definition) is a derivation from the norm. It is a canonical function that, in this case, allows the Latin Mass communities to apply the litugical laws as they stood in 1962. Will you get thrown out for not wearing a veil? Not likely. Will you be privately asked to wear one? In some places. It's subject to local implementation/enforcement. It is certainly more than a mere custom (of course depending on how you define that term). Does it carry the force of law? That's a good question.

The implication was clear.

[I Choose to Be Holy]

just remember everyone, not to too caught up in the "law" and forget the faith part. Whether its kneeling or veils, you shouldn't be doing it because it is required but rather interiorize it and do it out of love and faith. Jesus came to save us from the law so lets not revert back to it.

In Alberta, we don't kneel. I have had many discussions with priests, religious, and bishops about it and i guess even though Vatican says yes, if your bishops or priests say no, you go with what your community is doing, because Mass is a community thing. Plus, even if you don't phyiscally kneel, you can still kneel with your heart and you always should, regardless of where your body is.

[cmotherofpirl]

Your priest or bishop does not have the authority to contradict Church law. THe Community does not set the standard, the Church does.
