Does anyone know of a written opinion of this practice by the Institute of Christ the King in which its takes a position on this subject? Our thanks to Catholic Knight for the use of the photograph.
Update (12/09/2008): On the Vatican website, the Code of 1983 abrogated the Code of 1917. Abrograted means: "repealed, annulled, cancelled, abolished by authority". Can. 6 § 1 says:
'When this Code takes force, the following are abrogated:
1/ the Code of Canon Law promulgated in 1917;
2/ other universal or particular laws contrary to the prescripts of this Code unless other provision is expressly made for particular laws;
3/ any universal or particular penal laws whatsoever issued by the Apostolic See unless they are contained in this Code;
4/ other universal disciplinary laws regarding matter which this Code completely reorders."
Sounds pretty clear...the Code of 1917, which required the wearing of head-gear by women, worthy as it was, was cancelled.
