What Does the Catechism Say?
What Does the Catechism of the Catholic Church say about "Modesty".
In the Catechism #2522 it states: " Modesty protects the mystery of persons and their love. It encourages patience and moderation in loving relationships; it requires that the conditions for the definitive giving and commitment of man and woman to one another be fulfilled. Modesty is decency. It inspires one's choices of clothing. It keeps silence or reserve where there is evident risk of unhealthy curiosity. It is discreet. " May we always show respect for the sacredness and dignity of the human person by the way we dress!
