[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not muslim however I believe it has to do with their hair, as it does in some Jewish sects.

[b]I am catholic and I veil,[/b] it has everything to do with humility before the presence of God and nothing to do with modesty, so maybe it is a bit of that too, since the "big 3" religions are so intertwined.

Great question, I'll be interested in learning more![/quote]

Why? That went out with Vatican II[/quote]

[b]It did not go "out" it became a choice. I choose too, just like I choose daily mass and pre vii fasting rules.[/quote][/b]

Actually, veiling in the Catholic church has made a big comeback.  Go google it.  Three women were veiled at a recent Catholic funeral Mass I attended (not Opus Dei).[/quote]

I am a practicing Catholic and I find this both super weird and super depressing.  Just for reference sake, I come from a family where daily mass and rosary are common; priests in the family; close family friends who are nuns; Catholic educators (both CCD teachers and parochial school administrators) in the family.  Even my grandmother that was born in the 19th century and prayed almost constantly was glad to ditch the hat/veil.  
This is like the people that insist on Latin mass....it's going backward, not forward.

Thanks so much for your Catholicer than thou credentials. I'm sure women who choose to veil will stop immediately so they are no longer super weird and super depressing.[/quote]
