The 'hats' women where when they go to a Roman Catholic church is a cloth that symbolizes peace and purity for the Christians and Catholics.
Roman Catholic AnswerBefore the new Code of Canon Law appeared in 1983, the old Code, following St. Paul's admonition to women, required that women cover their heads in Church. When hats were routinely worn by any grown female if she so much as stepped out her front door, this was no problem. As hat wearing grew less common, the mantilla or veil became popular. When the Code removed the requirement that women cover their heads, it did not change the opinion of Catholics that you should cover your head, like other things, it tended to think people had grown up enough to do the right thing. Oh well. At the link below you may find some of the veils and mantillas, as well as a book on proper female attire in the Catholic religion.Wiki User
