| 0:00.0 | How's it going Retro Grades? This is Dave Gordon. Today I'm bringing you a solo show, |
| 0:15.5 | and the topic of today's show is the ongoing need for women to cover their heads during liturgy and be reminded |
| 0:22.6 | that liturgy is any of the official acts of public worship of the church like mass and the sacraments. |
| 0:29.8 | So there's a constant tradition harkening back to the apostolic age of Christian women covering |
| 0:35.0 | their heads during liturgy. Where does the tradition of women covering their heads during liturgy come from? It's actually a story of women covering their heads during liturgy. Where does the tradition of women covering |
| 0:38.5 | their heads during liturgy come from? It's actually a scriptural directive. St. Paul in 1st |

| 1:38.3 | inherently reflects women's submission to God represented during liturgy by the priest. |
| 1:44.5 | Yeah, God is represented in liturgical functions by the priest who's acting in persona Christi. |
| 1:50.2 | As we know from Ephesians 5, Christ is the head of the church. |
| 1:53.9 | Thus, women, thus women do homage to Christ by covering their heads in liturgy as a physical, tangible affirmation |
| 2:04.9 | that Christ is the head of the church. |
