Um der Engel willen.
Nach 1 Korinther 10,11, sollen die Frauen in der Kirche ihr Haupt bedecken "um der Engel willen".
Vermutlich sollen die Engel nicht durch die Schönheit der Menschenfrauen abgelenkt werden.
Einen sehr persönlichen und sehr guten Artikel dazu habe ich bei Adoro te Devote gefunden: To veil or not to veil.
Ich sollte natürlich auch auf die Erklärung von WardWideWeb hinweisen, die Adoro te Devote ebenfalls verlinkt hatte. Der Eintrag lautet "What the veil?", erklärt den Hintergrund und kommt dabei ohne die begehrlichen Engelwesen *gg* aus:
"A woman with a veil is not, as is commonly thought, veiling herself in submission to men.
She is also not veiling herself out of shame, or subjugation. (Unless you count that she is submissive to Christ the Lord and shameful of her sins which crucified Him.)
A woman who chooses to veil herself does so for this reason: because she is sacred. Remember what happened at the death of Jesus? The veil which hid the sacred Temple was rent in two. Sacred things are veiled. Always have been. Women's heads are veiled for the same reason the chalice is veiled. Both a woman and a chalice are things which God touches. A chalice contains God physically. A woman, when touched by the skilled hand of God, becomes co-creator with Him, and a new life is made.
Women are touched by God in a way that men never can be. God uses a woman's body to bring forth new life. He has an intimate connection with her physical body.
So, choose to wear a veil or don't."
Außerdem hat das erwähnte Blog einen für Pater Siegfried vielleicht ganz interessanten "Spielregeln"-Text:-)
