[Ansteorra] Veiling

[Steve Scott (Dietrich)]

I remember most women wearing hats and veils in the Episcopal church in Wyoming in the early 1960's.  Not so much after we moved back to Texas in the late '60's.

Pre Vatican II an unveiled woman would not even be allowed inside the church.  But, pre Vatican II no self-respecting Catholic woman would even think about entering a church unveiled.

Been there, done that.

> You MUST be talking about an Orthodox Catholic church.  I have never heard of a RC church in America denying communion to a woman who didn't have her hair covered.
> I probably should have mentioned that earlier.  I was raised RC not Orthodox.  They are different churches.  Also Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox and Ukranian Orthodox are all different churches - three different versions of the Orthodox church.
> I've never been to Italy so I don't know about the churches there.  I'd have to take your word for it Coblaith.  I can definitely see it happening though.  The RC church in Italy is more traditional than it is here in the US.  So that wouldn't surprise me.  I do remember when I went to the Ukranian Orthodox church for a little while, I was not required to wear a head covering.
> It's an interesting conversation.  Please let me know which church you went to.  I'd be very interested to know.  I haven't actually been to a RC church except for funerals in over 10 years.
