Bring back the veil :) part 1 - how to dress

Sometimes, i wonder, if God is sad when He looks down at us in Mass. i understand God can't really be sad but i finally understand why the Catholic Church had rules on dresses and veils. It is sad to see woman going to church wearing sleeveless tops and/or short and tight dresses. Its even worse when they are in the choir or serving Holy Communion. i am the first to appreciate beautiful woman but there is a time and place for everything ...Church is certainly not the place. You might say i am out of touch with modern society... but the reason is very simple. As a Catholic man, it is a temptation to forget why i am at Church. Even though i try to ignore the beauty of a woman, if it distracts me 1 minute from Gods Mercy, then not only have i failed but the person that comes to Church, in a provocative attire, also falls from Gods grace. Times are so evil, we can see so much sex on tv, billboards, magazines and movies...do we really want to bring temptation to Church. Maybe it is not done on purpose but it might be time for the Church to step back and mention the obvious. The central theme at Mass is the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. It is not a time for individuals to dress in provocative attire that might bring others into temptation. Maybe, some people will take this post and say it is my fault for looking. And there is some truth to that opinion but at least i am trying to focus on Our Lord Jesus Christ during Mass. Lets not go back to the middle ages ...but maybe we can make common sense rules for men and woman.
1. No shorts
2. No tank tops or sleeveless shirts
3. Dresses below the knees
4. And for a woman, who wants to hide her beauty for Mass, a small veil. (Optional)
God, gave His only begotten Son...for our sins. Maybe, we as a church, can be a little more modest in our dress for the Glory of God.
