“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”.
