yup, i'm 57 and like you said my Mom wore gloves and a hat whenever we we went out looking 1/2 dressed up or better and always to Church it was a different time for sure
“i guess gloves are something not seen in three or four generations then...”
I also remember my mother wearing gloves. When we were little, this would be the early 1960s, every time we went out anywhere we would be looking even 1/2 way nice she’d wear gloves. Not to do errands, I guess, but most other stuff.
And the weird thing was, she wouldn’t wear both gloves, she’d just wear one and carry the other. Even with 3 little kids to deal with!
Well, even I wouldn’t want to be bothered with stuff like that every day. I just gotta say that on this thread.
Church is one thing and yes, in general I’d like to dress up more and restore more formality to more occasions, a big one with me is Thanksgiving. I always try and dress pretty nicely on that day and then I got to whoever’s house and everyone is there is sweats. I don’t judge, but I’m not wearing sweats either.
But I also don’t want to wear gloves for no purpose and not even wear both of them every day!

If you want to see why we should not receive Communion in the hand, have someone put an unconsecrated host in your black-gloved hands.
When you pick it up, you will see all the particles left on your black-gloved hand.
Since it wouldn’t be too cool to be licking the particles of a CONSECRATED HOST, the actually body and blood of Christ, off ones hands, you will change to receiving Communion on your tongue.
Try it!
