To: All
Modesty protects the mystery of persons and their love. … Modesty protects the intimate center of the person. It means refusing to unveil what should remain hidden. It is ordered to chastity to whose sensitivity it bears witness. … Modesty is decency. It inspires one’s choice of clothing. It keeps silence or reserve where there is evident risk of unhealthy curiosity. It is discreet (CCC 2521-2522).

Are you saying that modesty is nor a virtue?

I would prefer if the USA volleyball women did not advertise they are strippers. I don’t why women feel like they have to show their private things. Is it attention they are craving?

No offense to the Monsignor, but why else would anyone watch women’s beach volleyball?

On the one hand there is the butchery and repression of Islam.

On the other hand, there is the total paucity of basic human decency based on morality in western countries.

In the fight against Islam, people should not praise (current) western “civilization” values that actually are nothing but degradation of people as sex objects and various shades of depravity and immorality.

(I don’t mean that no one in western countries has any sense of morality; but the “standards” as espoused and promulgated by the media, entertainment, and government - including especially education - are all in exact opposition to real morality. One has to be a “rebel” to believe in and act on eternal moral verities now.

I am not surprised that beach volleyball, the uniforms are deemed to be a modesty issue. I think the sport started if I am not mistaken, on the beaches of Brazil itself. If I am wrong correct please. Thank-you! God Bless.

With all the issues going on in the world, the Catholic church needs to weigh in on athletic-wear...

I’m saying playing volleyball on a beach wrapped up in two layers of clothing and a hijab on your head isn’t a virtue.

Msgr. Charles Pope is an idiot.

Do go on! Enlighten us with your vast knowledge of the virtues of modesty, and how Msgr. Pope falls short. We're all dying to hear your contributions to the discussion...

...or is your single statement all you have to provide?

In other words, strive for a BALANCE.

I’m quite the fan of the female form. I find it very distracting walking around NYC seeing the young ladies wearing yoga pants and yoga shorts and skirts barely below crotch level making it very easy to fill in the blanks with the imagination. To avoid the temptation, I usually have to look at my feet while I’m walking.
I’ve broken a serious addiction to pornography a few years ago. The current state of female attire has not made it easier.
I’m not trying to tell people what to wear, just my opinion on the matter.
