It’s hard to deny that
the standard of dress for Mass attendance is significantly lower than it was a
few decades ago. I’m not talking about people who, due to work schedule
or other external circumstances, need to attend Mass in other than their “Sunday
Best”, but abou the very large number of Catholics who could dress better but, for whatever reason, don’t. And it’s not simply a matter of people being poorly
dressed, but also many dressing immodestly, some to the point where they create
a near occasion of sin for their fellow congregants. I propose that we
all undertake to bring back the concept of our “Sunday Best” for Mass, and
encourage our fellow believers to do the same.

doesn’t care what I’m wearing, as long as I’m there.” I respectfully
disagree; consider the following passage from the Gospel of Matthew, (a similar
one appears in Luke) . . .
