Another Headcovering Issue

As some of us dither over whether chapel veils look too darn good and draw too much attention to us, defeating their purpose, some Catholic women have a different problem with the whole issue:

“Please, in view of the present security challenges, the church has urged women to stop coming to Sunday service with big headgears and bags to enable security men know when a bomb will be smuggled into the church” -- Fr. Uche Obodoechina, Nsukka, Nigeria
No Sunday purse, either, then. The article goes on to say anyone half an hour late or more for Mass is out of luck -- the doors will be locked.

Actually, these ladies may take up veils as more security conscious . . . or they may do as the rest of the world and just go uncovered.
