I commend the Vatican for banning immodest dress inside Vatican City. Other cities and churches in the world should do the same. Women should be decently dressed, adorning themselves with modesty and dignity, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, but with good works, such as becoming of women professing Godliness. The Blessed Virgin warned Jacinta of Fatima while she was dying in a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1920 that “Certain fashions will be introduced which will offend Our Divine Lord very much. Those who serve God ought not to follow these fashions…the sins that lead most souls to hell are the sins of the flesh.”
Ladies, men, girls and boys should always wear clothing that they would not be ashamed of in the sight of God. They may not be finely dressed or pretty and graceful; they may not have those attractions which are most admired by the world; but if they have the virtues of modesty and purity they have something which money cannot buy and an ornament which will outlast all the fading treasures of earth.
