Ep. 023 - Literature Series - A Papal Decree Concerning Modesty/Marylike Standards for Modesty in Dress (Pope Pius XI, 1930)
Episode 26
Monday, 16 August, 2021
In this continuation of our Literature Series, we bring to you a fascinating Papal Decree issued by Pope Pius XI in 1930 entitled "A Papal Decree Concerning Modesty - The Marylike Standards of Modesty in Dress". As we mention in the episode, it is the most specific guidance we've ever come across from the Church with regards to modesty in dress. It is strong, specific and extremely practical--and quite controversial--even Beth and I have differing opinions on the applicability of the Decree’s specific standards in today’s world. Despite it's jarring strength and specificity, and as so typical with Mother Church, She ties these standards so beautifully and logically with Our Lady’s virtues, and the innate splendor and value and dignity of womanhood that one cannot leave this Decree with any concerns of trying to stifle or repress the beauty of women (if you know the theology behind it, the value that the Church acknowledges in the virtue of modesty and the dignity that She recognizes in each and every woman). Therefore we present this Papal Decree for further discussion and in order to perhaps inspire us all to a deeper and more profound understanding of the beauty of the virtue of modesty. We would really love to hear what you think of this! Please leave a comment, send us an email or DM us on Twitter.
