Was the "veil not required" a part of Vatican II or is it more of a "modern" thing?
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

I thought so, but wasn't sure as at RFK's funeral, there will still veils aplenty, but I assume that's a personal choice?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Pre-Vatican II, every woman had to wear a veil in church, right?

I think it was just that they had to cover their head.
I just got back from a massage. I may just lie around and be jelly all day.

I think girls did too, something to cover their head, but I'm not sure.
"Ava Maria" makes me cry, everytime.

Yeah, that's what I meant -- something on your head.

Aims, yeah, personal choice, plus RFK died very early in the post Vatican II era, and there were a lot of women who just didn't feel comfortable unveiled, even though they knew it was okay -- it was still just too new. I don't think I've seen anyone with a veil in at least the last five years, maybe ten, even at churches with large nun and little old lady contingents, but it took a long time for some people to adjust.
