• Sherry - In my parish, dress is very casual and I feel very uncomfortable. We pray for increase in vocations, yet things seem kind of sloppy or reverent. Shouldn't get females off the altar? (02:22)
• Sam – Some people don’t have money to dress nice  
• Mary – There should be a dress code (20:02)
• DeAnna - This topic is a thorn in my side. I had to turn off the program. I am not well off or poor. I think woman calling in with this topic has money for cell phones. I doubt Mother Teresa would be wearing pearls. This is what turns people away (23:53)
• Kathy - Women have no place on the altar. What do you think about lectors? I think she might be stereotyping this. I think overall everyone needs to be respectful too. (33:14)
• Jose - All Eucharistic Ministers at my Church have to wear an alb. They all dress in an alb. That could be a solution to add more reverence. (39:25)
• Andy - I think the nature of men and women and the way God created us. There are a lot of men and women compromised by the feminist movement. Men and women are not equal but complimentary. (42:46)
