I'm a recovered catholic.
I went to catholic schools for 12 years. We went to mass every morning. Up until sometime in the '70's women and girls were required to cover their heads at mass, and if they forgot to bring something nice, then the nuns would make them pin on a paper towel.
Silly rule, but the men removing the hat is just good manners, something that was taught in school in a class called 'civics' where we would learn the rules and manners of good citizenship.
Sadly and sorely missed, is the mandatory civics class.
