Things Have Changed in Two Thousand Years

As an amendment to the last post on the Motu Proprio:

I stated that I considered lack of a veil to be disrespectful. I do think that women should at least consider veiling their heads for more than one reason. I'm not going into a long discourse on the subject today, but here's the short list:

1. It's in the Bible. This is my first reason, but let's gloss over that one for now, as the New Testament often contradicts itself, and is therefore no basis for an argument.
2. Mary did it. So did Veronica. The idea behind this one is to imitate humility and obedience to Christ.
   
3. Cause the Pope said to. Or maybe he didn't. Wait. Which was it?

I have, thus, settled on being the only woman at mass in our church to wear a veil. I get occasional stares, and once, when I wore a scarf instead of a chapel veil, the priest asked if I was Muslim. While I am sure that is a very fine religion, I'm afraid I'm not.
My one and only reason for wearing the mantilla is not to show obedience to my husband (snicker) or because St. Paul* said to, but because I suppose that #2 on the list is the closest. I don't wear a veil outside of church, but when I'm talking to G-d, then I think it's a sign of respect.
I suppose my point is that clothing and veils are all a nice way of being respectful. However, if you haven't got the appropriate clothing, it's not my place to say a word. I was reading this article, which prompted the entry today. I don't care about Birkenstocks in church. Nope. Nor about short sleeves or trousers. I cringe when I can see your underwear, but not a word, because in the long run, I think that G-d just doesn't care.
