Why a New Generation of Catholic Women Is Wearing Chapel Veils | Religion & Politics
As I interviewed women who have readopted the veil, it was clear that many of them see veiling as an appeal to sexual modesty and purity, and as a physical reminder to remain pure. For Magdalena,* a 23-year-old Midwestern college student, “the significance behind the white and cream veil is that it is just a constant reminder of who you want to be—pure. You want to be holy; you want to be chaste.” Helena, a 19-year-old college student, said, “When I wore the veil, it was a reminder to be pure and keep pure thoughts and pure actions only and to be chaste.” For 25-year-old Ruth, the veil calls to mind the importance of sexual purity, and how it reminds her of being the bride of Christ, walking up the aisle to receive Christ in the Eucharist. She said, “You are being pure and just reverent and humbling yourself down for that one hour for Christ, to be His bride in that one hour” of Mass.

It is sad that Roman Catholics who do not believe the Bible are wearing a covering to church and Independent Baptists that say we believe the Bible do not. I wonder what Baptists believed 100 years ago? Let’s hear what Charles H. Spurgeon thought. The reason why our sisters appear in the House of God with their heads covered is because of the angels. The apostle says that a woman is to have a covering upon her head because of the angels, since the angels are present in the assembly and they mark every act of indecorum.
