It was easy to discard because not many knew its purpose, the tradition of its theology, or its symbol- ism. Many thought they knew the symbolism of the chapel veil-simply a symbol of male domination-yet they were and are still gravely mistaken. We do not always have to understand why we must follow this command or that tradition-love demands obedience regardless of understanding. And, in fact, the Faith is full of mysteries we will never fully comprehend. Yet we should always strive for greater understanding. When we do make the effort to extend our understanding of the mysteries of the Faith and the traditions and doctrines, our prayer life and our relationship with our Lord is deepened. This little volume contains two short essays, similar in scope and in perception. These essays enlighten an area which has been dark for too long. The Church has always exalted the role of women-yet the Modernists would have you believe the opposite and use the chapel veil as an example in their deception"-- ER -
