ModestyinDressIsVeryHardMatter ToDefineButEasyEnoughinPractice

"Hopeful"writes:

"Whatistheopinionof the'CatholicAnswer'inregardtofigure-revealing, form-fittingclothingworn bywomento-day?"

A.:Thisisthekindof questionwhichIfinditvery difficulttoanswer.Ifyou hadbeenspeakingaboutthe becomingness,neatness,or appropriateness,ofwomen's dressesofto-day,Ishould havesaid:"TheCatholic Answer,atleastinthepersonofthepresentspeaker, hasn'tgotanopinion;it wouldn'tknow."But,of course,whatyoureally wantmetospeakaboutis therelationofmodernfeminineattiretoprinciplesof Christianmodesty.

"Whatdoyoumakeofmodernyouth?"andsoon.

MiddleCourse

Inanycase,evenifthe scopeofyourquestionwere morerestricted,Idoubt whetherIcouldgiveyou justthekindofansweryou areexpecting.Modestyin dressisnotperhapsavery difficultvirtuetopractise, butitisextremelydifficult todefine.Wecanrecogniseitscontraryeasily enough,inindividualcases, butitisnotaneasystep fromthistoageneraljudgmentondress-fashions,irrespectiveoftheintention andmentalityofthosewho adoptthemandthestateof sensibilityofthepopulation asawhole.

Christianmodestyholdsa middlecoursebetweentwo extremes.Oneextremeis

prudishness,which,whenit isnotmerelyhypocritical, isamorbidsensitivityto everythingwhichhastodo withthephysicaldifferencesbetweenthetwosexes. ThatsortofthingflourishedinVictorianEngland, andevenmoreintheNew EnglandStatesofAmerica inthelatenineteenthcentury.Thankheavenswe havesaidgood-byetothe dayswhenwomenweren't supposedtohavelegsbut onlynetherlimbs,and whenpeopletalkedabout lady-dogsandgentlemanhorsesbecausetheywere afraidofthegoodoldEnglishwordsforthesethings. Nineteenth-centuryfashions indress,too,strikeusoften enoughasfussy,unnatural, andexpressiveofanexaggeratedfearofthehuman body.

NormalSensibility

Wearenotmuchtroubled bythatkindofthingnowadays.Modernfashions tendrathertotheotherextreme-whichisthatof pruriencyorsexualprovocativeness. Idonotsay thatthisextremehasbeen always,orevencommonly reached,althoughIthink thatafaircasecouldbe madeoutforsayingthatin certaincountriesofthe worldithasbeen,inthe matterofbathingcostumes.

Ontheotherhand,everybodyknowsthatcertain fashionsinclothes,although theyappearmildlyobjectionablewhentheyfirstappear,areoftenrapidlyassimilated,partlybecause theirobjectionablefeatures aretransformedbythedignityandright-mindedness ofthosewhowearthem,and partlybecausethereisa certainrelativeelementin whatisconsideredprovocative.andthenormalsensibility,withina certain range,soonadjustsitself.

SexualProvocation

Well,then,ifyouaskme whetherIshouldconsider women'sdressesasatpresentwornasconstitutinga constantsourceofsexual provocation,irrespectiveof theidiosyncrasiesofindividualbehaviour,Ishouldsay No.Ifyouaskmewhether therearenotfrequentexamplesofbadtasteand moralvulgarityinindividualcases,particularlyin thematterofsummerattire,Ishouldsay,"Yes, thereare."Idoubt,however,whethertherightway ofreformingthiskindof abuseisbydeclaiming againstfashionsassuch (althoughinextremecases thismaybenecessary).I thinkitisbettertorecognisethatimmodestyisfundamentallyanexpressionof mind,ratherthanamatter ofthelengthorshapeof cloth.

NoSinagainstMary

Aloosewomaninthe nineteenthcenturycouldbe provocativewithatoeoran ankle:andMoslemharlots managetoattractcustom evenwhenheavilyrobed andveileduptotheeyes.

Ontheotherhand.Iwould notsaythattheChristian womanofto-daywhobears herselfwithdignityandrestraint,andanabsenceof prurientself-consciousness, isimmodestsimplybecause herdressfitshermore tightlythanhermother's dressfittedher.Thereis adifferencebetween,onthe otherhand,acceptingone's bodycalmlyandwithout fuss,andadaptingone's dresstoitsstructureand,on theother,flauntingoradvertisingittodisturbother people.

Younextwrite:

"Couldthewaywomen dressberesponsiblefor someofthesinsthatare

A.:Imustprotestwithall theenergyatmycommand againsttheideathatsins arecommitted"againstthe ImmaculateHeartofMary."

Now.ifyouaskwhether immodestdresshascontributedtothespreadofsensualityandsexualirregularity,theanswercanonly beYes.ButthatissoobviousthatIthinkyour questionmustmeansomethingmore.Youprobably implythatfashionsbeing whattheyare,peoplefindit increasinglyeasytobecome victimsoftheirdisordered appetites.Yes,onthe whole,Ithinkthatisso.

"Whilenotwishingto wastethetimeofthisses-1 sionwithabsurdorpreposterousquestions,thereis onematterconcerningthe BlessedVirginMaryabout whichIshouldliketoenquire." A.:Thereisnothingthe leastbitpreposterousorabsurdaboutyourquestion,as listenerswillseeinamoment.Itsimplyhappens that,althoughyourquestionisafairone,nosatisfactoryanswercanbegiven, becausenoabsolutelyreliablesourceofinformation onthesubjectnowexist.

A.:Itisimpossibleto haveaclearandaccurate knowledgeaboutanhistoricalfactofthiskind,ifthere aienocontemporarydocumentstowitnesstoit,and nocertaintestimonyfrom earlytradition.Andthat isthecasehere.Allwe knowforcertainaboutthe lifeofOurLadyafterthe AscensionofChrististhat shewaswiththeApostles andholywomenwhenthey prayedinanupperroomof ahouseinJerusalem.St. Luketellsusthusmuchin the"ActsoftheApostles."

Maryhadbeenentrusted byherSontoSt.John,and presumablystayedwithhim Jerusalemduringthe yearsthatimmediatelyfollowedtheAscension.There iseveryreasontothinkthat St.JohnleftJerusalem later,andfixedhisresidenceatEphesus.Catholicwritershaveoftenraised thequestionwhetherOur LadywentwithhimtoEp-. hesus,orwasalreadydead bythetimeofhisdeparture fromJerusalem.Suchevidencefromtraditionashas beenbroughtforOur Lady'spresenceinEphesus isquiteunsatisfactory.It seemslikelythatsheremainedinJerusalemtillthe endofhermortallife.There areseveraltraditionsthat supportthisconclusion.

A.:No.Wemustjudge habitsandopinionsbytheir realvalue,notbythenumberofpeoplewhoadopt them.

Thismeantthataroad hadtobesurveyedandpeggedacrosstheheightsofthe dividingrange.

Inaword,BishopHi'liard'sProtestantismisa sightolderthanChristianity.

Itistoooldtobehealthy. Heannounces,withtheair ofadiscoverer,thatthere wasChristianityinEngland beforeAugustine.Ifhe derivesanysolacefromthe historicaltruththatthebulk ofBritain'sinhabitantshad beenconvertedinthefourth century,heisverywelcome tothereflection,although fourthcenturyfragmentsof theBookofCommonPrayer arebecomingveryrare indeed.

BrieflyDr.Hilliard'shistoryneednotdetainus,since therewasno"form"of Christianityapartfromthe onechurchestablishedby Christ.

Itisidletorepresentthe strugglewiththePapacyas oneoverreligiousauthority,

whereasitwasinvariably overthemoremundane matterofmoney.Ofcourse, theEnglishpeoplehadno saywhateverovertheabsolutismofHenryVIIIwhen heshookofftheonlyauthoritythatwouldhavecurbed bothhislustandhisdespotism.

Still,itistrue,asBishop Hilliardstates,that"it (Anglicanism)didnotbegin inthedaysofHenryVIII". Henrystartedaschism,but therealheresy,backedby thenewmillionairescreated bythespoliationofChurch property,wasthecreation oftheCecilsandtheir. pawn,Elizabeth.

Allthedifferenceswhich Dr.Hilliardpointsto betweenRomeandLambeth datepreciselyfromthat period.Henrywouldhave burnedanyonewhodenied thehistoricalmeaningofthe Eucharist,evenasLuther dubbedafoolthemanwho equivocatedtheplainwords ofItsinstitutioninthe Scriptures.

Butitwasthechiefaim andboastofthe"reformers"
