I was searching around and found this short report by a woman who is writing a book about the truth of why women should veil at Divine services.
I believe the same principles apply whether Orthodox or Catholic. I am posting this here because it is aimed at Catholics specifically. The thread we have on headcoverings concerns Orthodox women.
There is a good insight into how the press takes not just an active role but a very aggressive role in trampling traditional styles of women from the Roman Catholic Church. If they KNEW about Orthodoxy, the media would be making a beeline to stamp out all the nice quality of dress, appearance of Orthodox women going to Church !
This information reveals so much about how things "change" for no seeming reason since the topic of headcoverings of women was not under any debate at Vatican II. [ The prelates had too much else to do first in their quest to destroy the Church from within ! ]
The part in this essay about offending the Angels at the divine service is from the Bible. So it should apply to both Orthodox and Catholic paradigms. I thought that was an extremely compelling argument for covering the heads of women at divine services.

This excerpt is from a book which is taking 13 + years to finish entitled "The Unveiled Woman". Apparently showing how wrong that is.
