Why Catholic women stopped mantillas at Mass

Post by Barbara »

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.

We can see here: When the Church was one -before the Great-Schism of 1054- in the east and west we can find elements on both sides (by example mantillas and veils). And also later as 1054 we can find such o r t h o d o x e l e m e n t s havings in communion, also in the Roman Church. At the latest after the so called "II. Vatican Council" (1962-65) all these elements were stopped. The Roman Church is now an apostate organization from all Christian Faith. The so called "Popes" as John XXIII, Paul VI (Montini), Woytila alias John Paul II, Ratzinger alias Benedict XVI and now Bergoglio alias Francis are destroyers of all really Christian elements and traditions.

When I was a youth, I remember the push by Modernists and Ecumenists in the Vatican to suppress the Latin by bringing in the vernacular Protestant Lutheran services, to pervert and blaspheme the holy Gospels with the use of gender inclusive language so that "she" was used as a pronoun for Christ and/or His Apostles at the mandate of Cardinal Mahony of Los Angeles, to suppress the use of Gregorian chant by introducing modern rock 'n roll hymns, to suppress the use of modest head coverings and mantillas, to suppress "sacred art" by bringing in horrible modern art that resembled that done by chimpanzees, and to modernize the once beautiful churches so that they looked more like museums sans candles, sans stained glass windows, sans the holy mysteries. Yes, God was pushed out, and the masonic satan was installed.

Worse, if the Catholic faithful or its clergy were to oppose anything on the Modernist agenda, we were scolded with the reproof: "Do not be holier than the Pope," as if the Pope were Christ-God, the Only Sinless One.

In 1972, Pope Paul VI correctly said, "the smoke of Satan has entered into the temple of God," as the Pope now replaced Christ, and the creature was worshipped instead of the Creator.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

Well said, Maria ! Yes, that 'art' is horrific ! How could anyone alive stand for it ?
One sees it all over, whether architecture of new 'churches' or the art within them or in other associated buildings.
Chimpanzees is probably describing it politely !

For that matter, this trend has occurred everywhere in the modern world with evil images passing for 'great art' and selling for astronomical prices.

That quotation was probably the ONLY good thing that Pope Paul VI said. At least he coughed up the Truth in the midst of all the Vatican II-era lies. Why didn't he complete that famous statement, though ? To explain it and give guideposts on where precisely the smoke of the Devil had entered the Church, thus how to extinguish it.
Strange....or not ?

No, Barbara, Montini alias Paul VI was this smoke himself; he was a great apostate and modernist (of Jew origin: Montini: "little mountain").
