Modesty is a Great Virtue for Men and Women


“Modesty warns of imminent danger, prevents exposure to it, and compels flight in certain situations. Modesty dislikes crude and vulgar language and detests all immodest conduct, even the slightest; it carefully avoids suspicious familiarity with persons of the opposite sex, because it fills the soul with a profound respect for the body, which is a member of Christ (cf. 1 Cor 6:15) and a temple of the Holy Spirit.”

Pope Pius XII, Encyclical “Sacra virginitas”.
