Dress to impress God
Submitted by joyfulchicken on October 11, 2007 - 5:24pm.Last Sunday, I attended a wedding at the Manila Cathedral. It was my first time to step foot inside a Roman Catholic church building, and I must admit that I was awed by the magnificent architecture and artwork. But something else caught my attention.

Ooh, Catholic God has a dress code? Interesting. I quickly snapped some photos. Unfortunately, my low-resolution camera failed to capture the text clearly. Good thing they had these little illustrations to help us understand. Let's take a closer look and see if we can decipher what's considered proper attire in Catholic God's eyes.

Holy Versace, Catholic God sure has a strange fashion sense. But hey, his house, his rules. And what does he see as improper attire?

Hmm... OK.
The Protestant church that I was brought up in didn't have a formally defined dress code like this, but our God had his quirks too. There was this one time when an elder scolded some young people for wearing sandals and flip-flops to church. I remember thinking, "Wait, didn't Jesus and his disciples wear sandals?"
It has been over ten years since that day, and honestly, I still don't get it.
