The California Catholic website reports today (August 2, 2011) that the Archbishop of Leon, Mexico is calling on Catholics to dress modestly at Mass.
"If you have any respect for this place (a church), dress appropriately," Archbishop Jose Guadalupe Martin Rabago told reporters after Mass on July 24.
Criticism of the archbishop's comments came after local newspapers featured photos of posters at some parishes in Leon that said, "Respect God's house. Don't come dressed like this." The posters said women should not come to church dressed in miniskirts, sleeveless shirts, or low-cut blouses.
The archbishop said men need to dress appropriately at Mass as well, and should not wear shorts or sandals.
