MODESTY SHRINKS FROM THE SLIGHTEST IMMODESTY


Modesty foresees threatening danger, forbids us to expose ourselves to risks, demands the avoidance of those occasions which the imprudent do not shun. It does not like impure or loose talk, it shrinks from the SLIGHTEST IMMODESTY, it carefully avoids suspect familiarity with persons of the other sex, since it brings the soul to show due reverence to the body, as being a member of Christ (1 Cor. 6:15) and the temple of the Holy Ghost.

H.H. Pius XII Encyclical Letter Sacra Virginitas
