Indecent Dressing in the Catholic Church: A Misdirected Enthusiasm


FU Nnadi

Abstract

Our society is experiencing decline in morality. The moral lives of our people these days are in its lowest ebb. This moral laxity especially on our dressing code nowadays is nothing but a show of shameless generation. The indecent dressing of our youths seems as if modesty is no longer valued. It is just enough to see what some boys and girls wear in public, half-naked, to display their private parts, pants and bra, to attract the opposite sex and then we know that morality has collapsed. Many of us keep quiet over immoral/indecent, sexually provoking wears, either because they enjoy such or they are encouraging it or it does not matter to them. The Catholic Church of St. Peter’s Chaplaincy of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) frowns over such indecent dressing especially when coming to the church. It is a sin and we should not allow others commit sin because of our dressing. This paper discusses indecent dressing as it concerns the Catholic Church within its environs and the implication of such indecent dressing to the society if it continues.
