It is the responsibility of men to be vigilant in a world against them. Forcing other women to cover themselves "for the sake of men" is only addressing half the issue. If a man is so vulnerable that he cannot stand shoulders without temptations there are greater issues.https://twitter.com/IntroiboAdAltar/status/1135593970627747840 …
Mass is much closer to praying at a temple. We even have an altar. And many of the men struggle with sexual sin but are there to worship God and draw strength against temptation. Dressing immodestly at Mass in that context may harm their ability combat the temptation later.

Perhaps and it is just for a woman to be aware of how others will perceive them. But the other day another person was in a discussion group with men who blamed women for many nasty things. There's a line between holding responsible and blaming for weakness.

If the men leap over pews & sexually assault someone during Mass because she wore a low top, then sure. Wearing revealing clothing to a place where men will grapple with sexual sin and need to focus on the Lord for strength is not caring for your fellow Christian.

The original case was badly stated. This isn’t an issue of men leaping overpews to assault someone. Rather, Mass is the one place they should not face sexual temptation. Covering up is a consideration to men who may struggle with sexual sin and could lose focus during worship.

I suppose I just grew up different. Protestant is very individualized in terms of outfits. We dress well and fairly modestly. I've never heard of shoulders being an issue before.
