Cardinal Siri's 1960 Warning Against Women Wearing Trousers Now Makes Sense...
"A thorough cleansing must be made within the House of God--the Church. Women shall not receive My Son dressed as pagans, naked and without absolution! " - Our Lady of the Roses, December 31, 1974
Catholic Herald reported on December 5, 2011:
A friend has pointed me towards a blog by Fr Tim Finigan in which he mentions the late Cardinal Giuseppe Siri of Genoa and provides a link to a document written by the latter in 1960. Entitled “Notification Concerning Men’s Dress Worn by Women” it is a wonderful document and I am grateful to my friend (and indirectly to Fr Finigan) for bringing it to my attention.
In the Notification, which is addressed to his clergy, to teaching Sisters, to members of Catholic Action and to “Educators intending truly to follow Christian doctrine”, the cardinal noted that by 1960 many respectable women and mothers in Genoa had stopped wearing dresses and skirts and had taken to wearing “men’s dress (men’s trousers)”. He recognises that trousers might not be thought of as immodest “because they cover more of a woman’s body than do modern women’s skirts” – unless, of course, they are provocatively tight-fitting. His main point, however, is to do with the psychology of women wearing trousers: he believes “Male dress is the visible aid to bringing about a mental attitude of being ‘like a man’” ie it changes the psychology of women.
Cardinal Siri’s argument is that “male dress tends to vitiate relationships between men and women”; when women wear trousers, it flattens out the natural distinction between the sexes and thus helps “to pull down the vital defence-works of the sense of shame”. He believes, in short, that “the changing of feminine psychology does fundamental, and in the long run, irreparable damage to the family, to conjugal fidelity, to human affections and to human society.”
This is a large claim. Yet when I described the Notification as a “wonderful document” I was not poking fun at it. Of course the language used is quaint and old-fashioned and I feel sure the late cardinal would have been somewhat out of sympathy with “the spirit of Vatican II”; that Council was just two years in the future when he wrote down his thoughts. Indeed, he might seem – to modern eyes – as a reactionary old blimp. But he was writing in the days when bishops and cardinals took seriously their responsibility before God of their fatherhood of their diocesan flock. And was he entirely wrong in what he wrote?
Several years ago (long before I realised that Cardinal Siri and I were on a similar wave-length) a friend gave me a book about purity and women’s dress. It actually persuaded me to chuck out all my trousers and slacks for good. Friends and family were naturally aghast: had I gone mad? I could see all the reasonable arguments against me: modest Muslim women are allowed to wear baggy trousers; women’s slacks are not the same as men’s trousers and can be feminine; in very cold countries they are the only way to keep one’s legs warm; what do you wear when you are skiing or riding etc.
But I stuck to my guns – if this isn’t too unfeminine a metaphor. Why? Well, when I was a student at Cambridge in the 1960s I had worn mini-skirts – then the fashion – most of the time; this was sheer immodesty, though I wouldn’t have thanked Cardinal Siri for pointing this out to me then. When I wasn’t wearing mini-skirts I was trying to look like a character from a Hemingway novel: T-shirt, jeans and keeping a crumpled packet of Peter Stuyvesant cigarettes in my hip pocket. I was, as Siri points out, deliberately dressing “like a man”. (There was a very brief interlude when I went into shiny black PVC from top to toe; goodness knows what the cardinal would have made of that.)
I decided there and then I ought to make reparation for my sartorial sins and those of others. “Reparation” is a very Catholic idea: making amends and sacrifices to atone for sin. I know it doesn’t fit into a Darwinian scheme of things but it makes a lot of sense to me. And as soon as I began to wear skirts – midi and maxi this time – I began to notice the ugliness of modern female dress: most women I saw, unless they were very elderly, were wearing tight jeans with a large expanse of flesh exposed at the midriff; unflattering and unfeminine at the same time.
Feminism, a huge subject, also comes into this debate. I suspect Cardinal Siri was right to suggest that the women’s movement was not doing women any favours. I am not talking here about the right to vote and equal pay for equal work; I am talking about the situation today when, if you try to say publicly that a “right” to abortion harms women or that staying at home when one’s children are young might be a good thing, the fearsome army of the feminist sisterhood simply shouts one down.
Back to the idea of reparation: when I mentioned joining the Pioneers (for a limited period, of course) in my last blog, some of the responses suggested I needed to lighten up, especially as I don’t have a drink problem. But female drunkenness, and the immodesty that goes with it, have a disastrous effect on society. What is wrong with making amends for this?
Mind you, I do worry where I might end up: first trousers, now drink. Will chocolates be next?

"I repeat, My child, that much discipline will be needed. The manner of clothing
that We see being permitted by the parents to be worn by their children is an
abomination in the eyes of the Father. They are sinful, they are degrading and
they lead others into sin. Cover your bodies for they are temples of the Holy
Spirit.
"Men shall not dress as women and neither shall women
dress as men! Shorts, slacks shall not be worn in the Presence of My Son!
"There will be no rationalization accepted for the
commission of these acts of impurity."
- Our Lady of the Roses, July
25, 1974
"Parents, how dare you allow your daughters to be looked upon with lustful eyes! Have you no shame? What is your example? Are you pagans?" - Our Lady of the Roses, May 30, 1972
The amazing
Bayside Prophecies...
http://www.tldm.org/directives/directives.htm
A WAY OF LIFE
"I ask
that a task force be set upon the world to eliminate the products of the forces
of evil that seek to debase, destroy the souls of your children. Remove from
your homes the corrupters of souls: the pornography, the infernal box—your
television—and the destructor of souls, modesty and purity—the nakedness of the
body.
"Parents, you shall be judged for the destruction by permissiveness, of your
children's souls. Clothe them in goodness, holiness, and piety, and make modesty
a way of life for the young." - Our Lady, August 21, 1975
EXAMPLE OF QUEEN
OF HEAVEN
"The
world must follow the example of the Queen of Heaven. Modesty, purity of heart
and purpose." - St. Michael, December 7, 1973
SACRED TEMPLE OF
GOD
"Impress,
My child, upon your world the existence of hell that man seeks to deny. There
are fires of hell. These fires will be felt on those who have lost their modesty
to modernization, who expose the sacred temple of God, placed when their spirit
entered their body—expose them to ridicule! The flames will burn every inch of
that which is exposed." - Our Lady, November 20, 1971
AS BEFITS A WIFE
AND MOTHER
"Women
shall not approach the sacred Body dressed as pagans, exposing the temples of
their spirit to shame! Cover yourselves, My children, or you will burn!
"I repeat: women will dress as befits a wife and mother, clothing themselves
with modesty and holiness. Children will follow the example of their parents.
Therefore, if your example is poor, your children will be your thorns. The sins
of the parents are surely visited upon the children."
- Our Lady, March 18,
1975
ARE YOU PAGANS?
"Parents, how
dare you allow your daughters to be looked upon with lustful eyes! Have you no
shame? What is your example? Are you pagans?"
- Our Lady, May 30, 1972
DO NOT LEAD YOUR CHILD INTO DANGER!
"Mothers, why
are you permissive with your children? Do you not recognize the plan of satan?
Do you wish lustful eyes cast upon the innocence of your young child? Do not
lead your child into danger!" - Our Lady, June 8, 1972
CHAIN OF EVIL
"Foolish
virgins! Why do you choose to live in this world of earth? Have you become blind
to modesty? Has vanity invaded your hearts? Woe to those who cause the downfall
of Our dedicated by their examples. You are all following the evil circle, My
dedicated; for it is like a chain of evil, link by link. By your example you
build a solid chain to hell. For woe to those entrusted with the souls of the
little ones, and who lead the little ones to hell!"
- Our Lady, November 21,
1970
SAFEGUARD THEIR
PURITY
"As
parents your duty is manifold. You must teach your children within your homes.
You must safeguard their purity. Modesty! Mothers, your daughters—do you permit
them to expose their flesh to lustful eyes? Are you stripping from their young
souls modesty and purity of purpose and spirit? What kind of example are you
giving as parents in your homes?" - Our Lady, October 2, 1975
PERMISSIVE ATTITUDES
"Nakedness! Abomination! Aberrations have become the way of life in your
country. Nakedness! Have you no shame to expose your body and cause another to
fall? Mothers, you allow your daughters to sin and cause others to sin in your
permissive attitudes. Have you no protective instincts for your children? Do you
subject them willfully to the ravages of satanic agents?" -
Our Lady, March
25, 1972
EYES: MIRROR OF
YOUR SOUL
"Modesty
must be retained. Modesty must be taught to the young. Keep pure and holy
thoughts in your minds and the minds of your children, for your eyes are also
the mirror of your soul." - Jesus, May 18, 1977
"CHASTITY",
"MODESTY"
"You see,
My child, you use the word 'Marylike,' but the word is truly 'chastity,'
'modesty.' It is a word, chastity, the word modesty, soon forgotten on your
earth." - Our Lady, June 15, 1974

Our Lady of the Roses, Mary
Help of Mothers promises to help protect our children. On September 13, 1977,
She said, "He has an army of ogres wandering now throughout your country and all
of the countries of the world. They are in possession of great power; so wear
your sacramentals, and protect your children and your households. Learn the use
every day of holy water throughout your household. Insist even with
obstructions, insist that your children always wear a sacramental. One day they
will understand that they will repel the demons."
On February 1, 1974, Our Lady said, "My children, know the
value of these sacramentals. Guard your children well. You must awaken to the
knowledge that you will not be protected without the sacramentals. Guard your
children's souls. They must be surrounded with an aura of purity. Remove them if
necessary from the sources of contamination, be it your schools or even false
pastors."
