philosophette Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I do not disagree with you at all, Veritas... but I feared this thread turning into something of the like that started complaining about modified habits. The door was somewhat opened and I just wanted to seal the crack, so to say. I like longer outifts, too, but that is not where God is calling me... so I kinda have to adjust my expectations!

Again, I just find it distracting because it looks kind of out of place to me... they're all covered-up, but then their ankles are showing. So, your eyes are drawn to their ankles and feet when you first see them! Thanks for your previous post, too. I see your intentions. I don't think we'd have too many quibblers here on the modified habit (within reason), now on those with no habit at all... well, we won't start that discussion!
