Funny stuff going on over at catholicnews.org. She has come up with some pretty funny satirical news stories and the last two posts were especially good.

Modesty is relative
A tip of the hat to The Curt Jester for a link to this neato blog called catholicnews.org hosted by Maureen Martin. I was reading one of her posts entitled Modesty is Relative, and sprayed coffee all over my monitor.
What was that doilie the ladies used to wear in Mass called? A mantilla, I think? I’m a post-VII gal, but I do remember long ago when women wore dresses and doilies on their heads and men wore suits and ties, and I’m old enough to remember the Virginia Slims ad which I think applies….
“We’ve come a long way, baby!”
I remember when girls/women had to have their heads covered to go into a Catholic Church. In the absence of a mantilla, we might use kleenex or notebook paper (or other creative options) when making a quick visit.
Those little “doilies” were called chapel veils. The long, Spanish-looking lace numbers were mantillas. I remember a day when I was feeling quite rebelious in my Catholic junior high school and ditched my chapel veil. Pretty nearly got me expelled.
