Catholic Priest: Women Must Cover Their Shoulders at Mass to Protect Male Purity [View all]
https://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/2019/06/04/catholic-priest-women-must-cover-their-shoulders-at-mass-to-protect-male-purity/Another day, another Catholic leader saying something idiotic on Twitter, then doubling down on it.
This time, it’s Father Kevin M. Cusick, a former Lieutenant Commander in the US Navy chaplain corps, telling women to cover up their bodies to avoid offending the delicate sensibilities of men.
...The lesson is clear: Catholic women should just wear a burqa, or maybe full body armor, when attending Mass. Do it for Jesus.
Or perhaps women should just walk out of the Catholic Church for good. That way priests would never have to look at their naked shoulders at all.

Bullshit victim blaming from the largest Christian church in the world. Men are responsible for their own damn behavior. Why does the RCC think otherwise?
