Hi, guys —
- What does the Bible say about women covering their hair/head?
- Are Catholic women required by the Bible to cover their face, hair, or head?

Hi, Yolly —
This is covered in 1 Corinthians 11 which says that women should cover their heads and men should not.
The Holy See made a determination a few years ago that this does not pertain to the deposit of faith but was a matter of culture and Church discipline. It was in effect in the 1917 Code of Canon Law but this was abolished in 1983 and not restored in the new code.
