More on the Chapel Veil

I had recently seen a little book on the Chapel Veil from a store in Colorado Springs. It was written by two young female college students who are in the practice of wearing the Chapel Veil. Recently, a website/blogsite one of my friends established for "Catholic Restorationists" has an article on there from a young lady by the name of Lorraine (or at least I presume it is a lady, I suppose one can't be too careful these days on the internet!) . In addition, this same Lorraine presents yet another beautifully written defense of the venerable tradition of Holy Mother Church.

Why have we lost this venerable tradition? I am not entirely sure, but it would appear to be "on the mend" and hopefully more so with the soon to be released Motu Propio. I think the theological symbolism is much needed in our society, for Holy Mother Church is not meant to submit to secular society, rather to lead society into the knowledge and the depth of love of the Glorious Plan of Salvation of Our Lord Jesus Christ. In other words, the Holy Catholic Faith should form society, and we should not let societal norms form the Church. It would appear Pope John Paul II's so-called Theology of the Body could very much help us to regain the depth of theological symbolism in this tradition. It only remains for someone to draw that out.

As always, comments and/or discussion are definitely welcome on this and all posts!
