- in those early days women covered their head as it was custom. But your right, perhaps a little nit pick....:O)
That's why they should keep their hats on
or the nit-picking really get's going
They start when they are still young...

Respect for God? God GAVE women their hair and now he insists they hide it? The fact that a folded tissue or a handkerchief does not hide one's hair or that it "protects a woman or girl from being distracted in church" is addled reasoning.
Men are not immune from diversion but do we believe they must wear some headgear to deprive them of peripheral vision? It ain't gonna happen!
There are way more problems in our world that a hanky on the head won't solve.

I remembered that, I lived it. Scarves, mantillas, kleenex if you were without
Paul explained that a woman`s hair is her covering. if she hacks it off she has no covering and should use an artificial covering.
“There was no one church after Christs Resurrection,”
There was ONE Church. There were just different congregations of that ONE Church.
We had chapel veils, but with five girls, it wasn’t unusual for one to go missing. Then, the kleenex was drafted. :)
Because in one of St. Paul’s letters to the Corinthians, it specifies that women should cover their heads, men shouldn’t. Why Paul made that choice, I don’t know.
good for a chuckle....:O)
“there was no consensus throughout the 7 churches. Some were praised, some not. But the difference of opinion is what makes a horse race...”
The Church is not a horse race. Apostolic Succession and the same sacraments show that the “7 churches” were ONE Church albeit with some members falling away.
At the diocesan Latin Mass I attend most women/girls do wear head coverings; not all. It is not considered mandatory. Sometimes a supply of veils in the entryway.
I understand what you’re saying but this isn’t a difference of opinion. The seven Churches were all part of one Church. They shared one baptism and originally shared one faith. They were part of one body. That fact that not all ended up that way doesn’t change the fact that Christ founded One Church.
There was no christian church immediately after Christs Resurrection. They were considered an offshoot of the Jewish religion. A jewish sect if you prefer.. Paul was sent to the gentiles, the apostles were only sent to the Jews of the day...they went to temple as they did before Christs Resurrection., just as Jesus did.I am not sure how long after Christ when they started to call themselves Christians. They were followers of Christ, just as today there are people that convert and call themselves Jews for Jesus....I use to watch Zola Levitt’s program He has passed on but his program was informative he talked about what Jesus life was like as a Jew, explained what Seder was and how he came to believe in the Messiah..Used the bible to prove Jesus divinity via the bible...
“There was no christian church immediately after Christs Resurrection.”
Yes, there was - it just wasn’t revealed to the world until Pentecost.
“They were considered an offshoot of the Jewish religion.”
It only matters what the Church was not what people considered it to be. Christ made the Church not Jewish opinion.
“A jewish sect if you prefer..”
Again, what the Church was considered to be is not important compared to what it was.
“Paul was sent to the gentiles, the apostles were only sent to the Jews of the day...”
Close enough. In actuality Peter had interactions with Gentiles as well and other Apostles did as well naturally.
“they went to temple as they did before Christs Resurrection., just as Jesus did.I am not sure how long after Christ when they started to call themselves Christians. They were followers of Christ, just as today there are people that convert and call themselves Jews for Jesus....I use to watch Zola Levitt’s program He has passed on but his program was informative he talked about what Jesus life was like as a Jew, explained what Seder was and how he came to believe in the Messiah..Used the bible to prove Jesus divinity via the bible...”
Okay, but I don’t know what that proves about what we were talking about. I watched Zola Levitt’s programs as well in the 90s. Sometimes he was way off base - more recent Christian history was not his strong suit that’s for sure.
