To Please God in Dress

We understand the revolution as the abolition of a natural and good order of things so as to replace it with the opposite, we can begin to analyze the cultural revolution that has changed the customs, habits and ways of being of modern-day man. The cultural revolution includes a revolution in style, in which a new "e;loose,"e;: relaxed, "e;egalitarian and vulgar"e; type of clothing and way of being came to replace the existing order and values that had been cultivated by Christian Civilization. The differentiation in dress that still remained in the 1960s to indicate a class or office of life has largely disappeared. The businessman and lawyer are removing their suits, the professor looks like the student, the doctor looks like his gardener. In effect, the genders, women are both far more prone to be occasions of sin, and being "e;the weaker sex or vessel"e; (1 Peter 3:7), to be treated with less dignity or respect. Proper dress does much to overcome this, and this is why St. Paul wrote in the New Testament that women should appear "e;in decent apparel' adorning themselves with modesty and sobriety"e; (1 Tim. 2:9)
