Unflesh-colored tights even if the skirt reaches below the knees when women sit

Dresses and skirts to the ground are praiseworthy for women in contrast to those reaching so that in a sitting position they cover their knees, as if worn maybe so long by force by compulsion, perhaps by shame, not for the Lord God and virtue. In addition, well matched are probably more comfortable, and maybe even healthier, they are prettier, emphasizing femininity. However, one should remember that the legs below must be fully covered with unflesh-colored tights according to the instruction of Pope Pius XI listed below. The greatest example that all women should imitate is the Mother of God. She wore robes to the ground. After all, traditionally Christian women wore robes and dresses to the ground.

Do you know the source of this instruction (e.g. link, photo) ?


I believe that this article from the link above contains the truth about the following. It results from a rational approach to the matter. It is about tights. Some if not most women do not wear unflesh-colored tights even if the skirt reaches below the knees when they sit because they may not even know about it. The so-called English versions of the guidelines of this instruction contain nothing about tights.

However, please read the following.


The bare legs of women have nothing to do with modesty, they are immodest.

Ladies, don't forget your swimming trunks.



And don't think that you should be able to engage in such activities as running, climbing, hiking in a hot climate and sports in general. God certainly made Eve a dress to the ankles out of those animal skins.

I am not here to open a can of worms, I really am not. However...please google Victorian women hiking, picnicking, golfing. Please look at the normal uniform of women anytime up until the 19-teens. You will see servant girls, who spent their whole lives engaging in physical activities wearing ankle length skirts, long sleeve blouses, etc. There was no air conditioning, and they spent lots of time outdoors. Countless women spent their lives in Africa and the Southern Hemisphere doing research, missionary work, physical labor, etc....all in ankle length skirts and long sleeve blouses. Lest we forget the athletic modest women from the past I suggest you also take a minute to google Maude Watson, Charlotte Cooper, and Ethel Larcombe. They were all Wimbledon Champions. It is insane to say that women cannot be active and modest. Now, I will allow that there is a great ease of movement when one removes some elements of modest dress, but where does that leave us? Are we supposed to do something because it is easier? Are we supposed to sacrifice modesty because it will get us up the mountain faster, to the end sooner? Maybe we should insult God with immodest clothing so we can score more points and win more trophies...I think at times like these we should really understand the meaning of being in the world but NOT of it. As Catholics, there is a line to draw in every situation, there is a line to draw in modesty too, like everything else. WE forget this simple principle simply because whenever modesty is mentioned all the trad closet feminists coming crawling out of the woodwork with #metoo scrawled on their exposed knees or on the backside of their favorite jeans.

Surely men should wear long tunics or robes to the ankle too, shouldn't they.

Or at least wear loose pants, or never take off their jackets if they are wearing tight pants.
And formerly the heretics were manifest; but now the Church is filled with heretics in disguise.

And why not ? However, it must be on the Catholic rules. Every Christian should adapt his whole life to God's Law, otherwise he makes himself god and this is a pure devilry.

And Adam too, although not a dress, but modest, to the ankles, robes or a tunic.

I do not understand, maybe it is about the 19th century in this sentence, and it should be "anytime up until the XX century" - ?

Charlotte Cooper and Ethel Larcombe are not good examples. In the pictures they wear a tie like men, and this is a sin. It is a such poison drop in the whole First Epistle to the Corinthians [5:6].

Yes, Pope Pius XI made this very point in similar words when discussing "Christian Education of Youth" in his 1929 encyclical Divini Illius Magistri.

Maybe we should insult God with immodest clothing so we can score more points and win more trophies.

The most classic example for me are the swim suits worn in Olympic competitions. For many years the girls (and boys) displayed themselves virtually naked before the whole world watching them on television, in order, so they claimed, to get a competitive advantage. They couldn't afford to wear modest swim wear lest they lose the race.

Then it turns out that was totally wrong. The modern swim suits that truly do provide a competitive advantage cover the body from wrists to ankles. New rules had to be implemented which limited the amount of covering over the body in order to level the playing field, since covering one's body completely provided such a huge advantage.

It seems to me that before the age of obfuscation (incorrectly called enlightenment), and maybe one should go back to the era before the outbreak of the protestant revolution, men wore robes to the ground or to the ankles, in any case long robes (not pants).

The Example that every Christian man should imitate is the Lord Jesus, that is God Himself because in His Image we were created and every faithful to Him man lives for Him. He wore robes to the ground and they were not pants.

Faithful to the Lord God Jews (People of God) during His earthly stay on earth and in the Old Order wore robes to the earth.

I said that because after that era immodesty began to take hold and there were fewer examples of women dressing modestly for activities.
Secondly, you are incorrect. A brief perusal of some fashion history books will tell you that the style of tie in those pictures was actually created for women. In only became fashionable for men later on.

You know awkward, this is something I have thought about a lot. Our Lord wore robes, most men in the world wore robes for centuries. Pagans went naked in many places, and as soon as the Gospel was preached, nakedness was done away with. Mini skirts, leggings, and cod pieces became all the rage for men during the renaissance which we know was a horrible decadent time. Now we have pants. The minds of women work differently than men and you could say that changing fashions for men is neutral because they do not awaken lust in women (in general). I honestly don't know. I do know that a man walking around in a robe now would probably be immodest for a) drawing excessive attention toward himself and b) for scandalizing others by making people think he was muslim or something. This is a great question, I would love to see it fleshed out in a logical thoughtful way...go to it!

God hasn't provided a list of this legalistic moral crankery anywhere. This is literal Pharisaism, spun from a theology that, under the Scholastics and their adoption of Stoic natural law theory, became obsessed with deriving the "correct" moral behaviour for every conceivable situation and generating long lists of rules, the mind and law replacing the heart and Holy Spirit.

It's not infantile. That God himself will have covered Eve in a way that couldn't have met your alleged "God's Law" is a fact that flies in the face of your position. What's infantile is the title of this thread and the cultic puritanism behind it.

Seriously, all the Satanic madness unleashed in the world ... and exposed legs without "unflesh-coloured" tights?  :o The time wasted on this thread is probably more sinful than an exposed calf.

The problem is that discussions on this topic have been going on and on for years and a lot of people, including myself, tend to groan inwardly whenever they start up again and post accordingly, quite often about Scotsmen in kilts and Moslem men in long robes.   

The fact is that pants have never been the only option for men.  What's more they are extremely uncomfortable in summer.  I can't imagine having to wear pants, socks, shoes, a shirt, a tie, and a jacket in summer in somewhere like Texas.  Without aircon, the heat would be unbearable.

I feel sorry for men who have to dress like this, in a way that is only possible in many parts of the world for those with access to aircon at home, in the car, in the mall, at work, at Mass.

But your question is very interesting nevertheless, especially as there is no record anywhere of Our Lord or the Apostles wearing pants.  They dressed in the most appropriate way for the climate they lived in.  Surely all questions of modesty must have common sense as their foundation.
