too much emphasis is placed on tradition at the expense of the Word. This is something about which Christ warned.

One can exalt form over substance with regard to dress for church,

I don't think there is any disagreement between the three of us. My prayer is that I will exalt the Lord and if I see someone dressed inappropriately (as defined by me), my prayer is that I will gain God's viewpoint and not be judgmental. I find I am often confessing a judgmental and, alas, a condemning attitude. Please be patient with me. God isn't through with me yet.

FWIW, I know this is a "catholic" thread. However, I am a protestant. This topic is often discussed in "our" churches, too.

This is not a "caucus" thread. Whoever wishes to comment is more than welcome to do so.

no prob! my brother converted to Baptist and i know they dress up more than the catholics, but have complained that standards are slipping there too. my problem is indecent, immodest clothing, more so than stuff that is too casual, not dressed up enough. women should not make it hard for men to concentrate on God in church by dressing provocatively.
