It shows respect for Our Lord in the Eucharist. I don’t
think He has changed on women covering their heads. It’s
a falling away, MO.
And one thing, less vanity, you don’t have to worry about
hair spray and a “do”, whether your hair looks nice.
It’s kinda tough to wear a mantilla to a Novus Ordo Mass
but you can wear a pretty scarf or one of those little
French hats, I forget their name.

I am thinking of a beanie. I have a mantilla and one
straw hat and some scarves. Our dog chewed on my black beanie.
There is a messenger from Australia. Have you heard of
her? Her name is Valentina. She has received some brief
messages or maybe it is one, on how to act at Holy Mass and about ladies covering their heads.
I’ll look for the message to share....
Salvation and ALL,
AMEN! We should do nothing to disturb someone’s worship.
In the Bible there are many practices OT and NT of prayer and worship that people can follow. This is their choice, as long as they are not physically harming anyone.
If this woman is just praying??
Well then, pray and PRAISE THE LORD!! AMEN!!
Just giving my “ thought” ( always GOD inspired) as asked.
But, hey, let’s see what the WORD says on these occassions:
ROMANS 14:1-22
1 Give a welcome to anyone whose faith is not strong, but do not get into arguments about doubtful points.
2 One person may have faith enough to eat any kind of food; another, less strong, will eat only vegetables.
3 Those who feel free to eat freely are not to condemn those who are unwilling to eat freely; nor must the person who does not eat freely pass judgement on the one who does — because God has welcomed him.
4 And who are you, to sit in judgement over somebody else’s servant? Whether he deserves to be upheld or to fall is for his own master to decide; and he shall be upheld, for the Lord has power to uphold him.
5 One person thinks that some days are holier than others, and another thinks them all equal. Let each of them be fully convinced in his own mind.
6 The one who makes special observance of a particular day observes it in honour of the Lord. So the one who eats freely, eats in honour of the Lord, making his thanksgiving to God; and the one who does not, abstains from eating in honour of the Lord and makes his thanksgiving to God.
7 For none of us lives for himself and none of us dies for himself;
8 while we are alive, we are living for the Lord, and when we die, we die for the Lord: and so, alive or dead, we belong to the Lord.
9 It was for this purpose that Christ both died and came to life again: so that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
10 Why, then, does one of you make himself judge over his brother, and why does another among you despise his brother? All of us will have to stand in front of the judgement-seat of God:
11 as scripture says: By my own life says the Lord, every knee shall bow before me, every tongue shall give glory to God.
12 It is to God, then, that each of us will have to give an account of himself.
13 Let us each stop passing judgement, therefore, on one another and decide instead that none of us will place obstacles in any brother’s way, or anything that can bring him down.
14 I am sure, and quite convinced in the Lord Jesus, that no food is unclean in itself; it is only if someone classifies any kind of food as unclean, then for him it is unclean.
15 And indeed, if through any kind of food you are causing offence to a brother, then you are no longer being guided by love. You are not to let the food that you eat cause the ruin of anyone for whom Christ died.
16 A privilege of yours must not be allowed to give rise to harmful talk;
17 for it is not eating and drinking that make the kingdom of God, but the saving justice, the peace and the joy brought by the Holy Spirit.
18 It is the person who serves Christ in these things that will be approved by God and respected by everyone.
19 So then, let us be always seeking the ways which lead to peace and the ways in which we can support one another.
20 Do not wreck God’s work for the sake of food. Certainly all foods are clean; but all the same, any kind can be evil for someone to whom it is an offence to eat it.
21 It is best to abstain from eating any meat, or drinking any wine, or from any other activity which might cause a brother to fall away, or to be scandalised, or to weaken.
22 Within yourself, before God, hold on to what you already believe. Blessed is the person whose principles do not condemn his practice.
DEUTERONOMY 22:12
12 ‘You must make tassels for the four corners of the cloak in which you wrap yourself.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:1-13
1 Take me as your pattern, just as I take Christ for mine.
2 I congratulate you for remembering me so consistently and for maintaining the traditions exactly as I passed them on to you.
3 But I should like you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
4 For any man to pray or to prophesy with his head covered shows disrespect for his head.
5 And for a woman to pray or prophesy with her head uncovered shows disrespect for her head; it is exactly the same as if she had her hair shaved off.
6 Indeed, if a woman does go without a veil, she should have her hair cut off too; but if it is a shameful thing for a woman to have her hair cut off or shaved off, then she should wear a veil.
7 But for a man it is not right to have his head covered, since he is the image of God and reflects God’s glory; but woman is the reflection of man’s glory.
8 For man did not come from woman; no, woman came from man;
9 nor was man created for the sake of woman, but woman for the sake of man:
10 and this is why it is right for a woman to wear on her head a sign of the authority over her, because of the angels.
11 However, in the Lord, though woman is nothing without man, man is nothing without woman;
12 and though woman came from man, so does every man come from a woman, and everything comes from God.
13 Decide for yourselves: does it seem fitting that a woman should pray to God without a veil?
PRAISE JESUS,

‘I don’t attend an Orthodox synagogue so the men aren’t required to.” —> ok, I did not know that. I learn something new each day :)
if you only know English, Polish is insanely difficult (I had the advantage of having learnt a few other languages before) as there are numerous things different in the language: cases, genders, declinations etc.
However, in pronunciation, once you learn how to pronounce, it is simpler than English as the letter or combination of letters is always pronounced the same
C is always pronounced as "ts"
rz is always pronounced as "sh" as in pleasure
ż is always pronounced as "sh" -- kind of similar to the "rz"
y is always pronounced as "ih"
w is always prounced as "v" in English
i is always pronounced as "ee"
So transliterating it is TsementAsh ShedoVskee
The emphasis is always on the penultimate syllable.
It's quite worth learning Polish, even as at a basic level from www.supermemo.pl etc. as I think it's good to know something of a few languages...
I’ve heard it said that English is one of the hardest languages to learn,if not THE hardest.
No wonder! You hear people say “Don’t got no”,”Ain’t got no”, “Where is it at?”,etc.
People trying to learn our language are going to be confused!
to them, english is the easiest to pick up as the basic rules are simple. however, to master English (to converse at a P.G. Wodehouse level) takes a lot of effort -- and most people who speak English as a native tongue never reach that level either!
Some people are just more competent parents than I am ... I admit it.
Indeed, most (not all) of the ladies at my parish’s TLM are covered. Most choose veils, and from what I understand, the online chapel veil business is booming. Even a short perusal through eBay will offer a bumper crop of new and vintage veils, from the doilies right on through giant Spanish mantillas.
This doesn’t even count the direct online businesses that sell veils. In addition to eBay and a Catholic goods store, I’ve purchased mine from both an importer of flamenco dance supplies AND an Orthodox Jewish headcovering business.
Regards,
I visit family every Easter in Raleigh and stayed all summer last year. Their Catholic church is so packed, that in the summer it is SRO and during Easter etc. they have to have Mass in the Chapel, the gym, an auditorium AND outside-all at the SAME time. Last Easter Sunday, we sat in the entryway of the Church with about 40 or so others and received Communion out there as well.
All of the women and girls were dressed to the nines, most of the men were too-there were a few with shorts and jeans, but that is rare....it is so amazing to me the size of this parish campus! And they are expanding because they have to-obviously.
While I only saw a few adult women with Easter bonnets, just about every little girl was wearing one. It was so nice to see; it was how I remember Church to be years ago....I really do miss it!

No copy. Say again.
Jesus wanted people to attend, rich and poor alike.

Any mention of slobs?
“Slob” is the slippery slope to snobbery. Faith is all that matters; not riches, hats, ties, or any other worldly item, not even a bath.
People dress like slobs in my church-shorts, jeans, sweat pants and most of the younger girls wear tight hip hugger jeans or those tight and short body hugging dresses.
I wear a suit and tie 5 days per week on my job and refuse to wear one at church. It's crammed down our necks at work-clothes have to be a certain color, style, ties have to be a certain pattern etc. I dress in Dockers/golf shirt or a button down when going to church. I did wear a tie on Sunday.
I have told people if I kick the bucket I want to be in the clothes I wear at the gym-one of my favorites places to be in life. T-shirt, gym pants and tennis shoes.
