PROHIBITION OF WOMEN WEARING PANTS IN SOME PLACES OF WORSHIP.

[1 Part - 1/2]

***********************
The Catholic Church totally agree that there should be respect and discretion in the way both women and men dress. But we cannot remain silent about those who sow discord manipulating the Bible to introduce alleged commands of God, doctrines of men that denigrate the dignity of human beings.

Many applied Dt 22.5 in a twisted way:

"A woman shall not wear an article proper to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman's dress; for anyone who does such things is an abomination to the LORD, your God.

Firstly; nowhere in Scripture says women are prohibited from wearing pants. The only garment somewhat like pants that appears in the Bible is called 'DRAWERS' but, just in case, they weren't pants. The priests of the Old Testament used these drawers for their worship functions (SEE: Ex 39, 27 to 28; Lev 6, 3; Sirach 45, 8) "to cover their naked flesh from their loins to their thighs" (Ex 28, 41 to 42)

The question is: Why if these drawers or what King David was wearing while dancing nearly naked (2 Sam 6, 14, 20-22) before the ark of God, why these men were not taken out of the worship functions? What happened there that this rule was not enforced? Why to enforce it only to women? Are they more impure than men? Are they the spawn of perversion?
