27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
I'm not Catholic and not a religious person, but I vote for Nuns with habits.
The Dominican sisters have a modified habit that looks both appropriate and comfortable.
The arguments for habits pretty much disappeared after Vatican II which unfortunately coincided with the feminist movement and ERA-pursuit in this country. The “awakening” of women not only ruined or eliminated the traditional habit, it also killed all the reasons for wearing it: Dying to the world, burial of self, humility, pursuit of grace, subordination to a rule, community of God, modesty, and the list could go on. It was the symbol of lifetime service to God and it affected nearly every aspect of their personalities. It changed their movements, guarded their speech, dictated their behavior. There was no “I” in nun—no fond memories of former lives related to each other or to students, no last names, no degree-letter appendages or the replacement of Sister with Doctor.
The habit’s loss is just the sign of greater losses.
We have a cloistered convent down the street, a retreat center next to our church, and a group of Mother Theresa’s nuns around the block. All of them wear habits; I love it when they are in church. Sometimes we see them, two by two (not the cloistered ones, of course) walking in the neighborhood. I think they are beautiful.
Thank-you!

Exd 28:2 Make sacred garments for your brother Aaron, to give him dignity and honor.
We lose the idea of the dignity and honor of the office when everyone dresses like everyone else.

Yes. One more vote for habits.
The sixties are over, thank God.
