The Archdiocese of Manila Sunday reminded the faithful that there is a proper dress code for attending Mass.
The archdiocese’s Ministry of Liturgical Affairs (MLA) said wearing the proper attire when attending Mass is an important part of showing respect to the sanctity of the house of God.
In guidelines posted at parishes and chapels, the MLA said the faithful should wear formal, semi-formal or smart casual attire when attending Mass.
. . .
The faithful are strongly advised not to wear caps, basketball jerseys, tank tops or jersey shorts and shorts during Mass. Women are also asked not to wear spaghetti-strap tops or tank tops, short skirts, skimpy shorts or sleeveless shirts with plunging necklines when at Mass.
The manner in which one dresses for Holy Mass reflects the attitude one has for God. In today's narcissistic and hedonistic culture it is not surprising to see people dressed in ways unimaginable 40 or more years ago.
