Short Skirts Distract Pastors – Rev. Father

The Reverend Father Mathias Mornah of the St. Andrew’s Catholic Cathedral at Wa in the Upper West Region, has blamed low morals and social decadence on indecent dressing that has become the order of the day especially among the youth. He said indecent dressing among both the young and old that exposed certain parts of the body had contributed to immorality and indiscipline in society.

Father Mornah said these yesterday in a sermon here to welcome students of the University for Development Studies (UDS) and the Wa Polytechnic from the Christmas and New Year holidays. He said it is common to see ladies in dresses which expose their breasts, their stomach and backs. “Others wear dresses that are so short that they have to use handkerchiefs to cover parts of their body when they sit.” Ironically, he said, people dress in such manner to church on Sundays, a practice he described as “highly unacceptable in the house of the Lord.

“If you come to church with your breasts exposed before a priest how would he be able to concentrate. If you come to church exposing your back to a young man behind you, how would that young man concentrate on the word of the Lord?” he questioned. Reverend Mornah called on the public to say “no” to indecent dressing and to launch a crusade against it to save the youth from immoralactsthat would ruin their lies.

He called on parents to reflect on the issue and adopt attitudes and behaviours that would promote the moral upbringing of their children to enable them to become useful and responsible citizens capable of taking up leadership roles in society.“There is nobody on earth with 100 percent uprightness without a weakness, neither is there somebody who is 100 per cent sinful without and good. What we need to do is to look deep and adopt the useful attitudes, behaviours and morals and use them for the growth and development of society,” he said.

Reverend Mornah called on the youth to take their destiny in their own hands by emulating behaviours and attitudes that would improve their lot whilst discarding those that would lead them to doom. He urged them to take their studies seriously and say ‘no’ to alcoholism and smoking.
