Proper Clothing for Catholic Women

"The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so [are] abomination unto the LORD thy God." (Deut 22:5).

A King James Bible é mais bonita que a "Almeida Fiel e Corrigida" (*), mas para não haver dúvidas:

"Não haverá traje de homem na mulher, e nem vestirá o homem roupa de mulher; porque, qualquer que faz isto, abominação é ao SENHOR teu Deus."


Regras do Pentateuco são apenas para evangélicos fundamentalistas e judeus ultra-ortodoxos? No, sir. De um site católico (o grifo é meu):

God want men and women to act and dress according to their gender and the place God has given each one in Creation. Clothing and hairstyles are expressions of one's thoughts, behavior, and attitude. Women are not mean to behave like men, nor to have the same roles as men, therefore they should not dress or groom themselves like men. And vice versa.

Women should wear skirts and dresses; they should not wear pants. Women should have longer hair than men; a woman's hair style should be feminine (not masculine and not androgenous). Women should dress and groom themselves in a feminine manner, to show that they accept the place God has given women in Creation, in society, in the family, and in the Church.


É o que eu venho dizendo há anos, mas parece que estou pregando no deserto. Mais:

Modesty is a separate issue. A woman wearing modest pants still offends God, not by lack of modesty, but by dressing like a man. A woman wearing an immodest skirt or dress offends God less than a woman wearing a modest pair of pants. The offense of a woman wearing pants is an offense against the very order which God built into Creation and humanity.

A regra é clara: mulheres, é melhor usar minissaias que usar calças.

(*) não precisa nem ler, é óbvio que uma tradução chamada "Almeida Fiel e Corrigida" não pode ser tão boa quanto a tradução de King James.
