Anti-Halo

But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered, disgraceth her head: for it is all one as if she were shaven. For if a woman be not covered, let her be shorn: but if it be a shame to a woman to be shorn or made bald, let her cover her head.--I Corinthians, 11: 5-6.

Following St. Paul's admonition to the Corinthians, the Roman Catholic Church enjoins its womenfolk to cover their heads at worship, if only with a shawl or handkerchief. Last week the Vicar General of the Catholic diocese of Louisville, Very Rev. E. Erie Willett, startled the faithful within and without his flock when, presumably acting for Louisville's Bishop John A. Floersh, he declared that the currently fashionable, crownless "halo hats" are inadequate for Catholic church wear. Quipped Vicar General Willett: "I am sorry that the ladies here will have to wait until they get to heaven before they can wear their halos."
