My understanding is the new mass came in and didn't address head coverign specifically. But there was still cannon law around head covering until 1983. So it seems like the practice was stopped before the law changed. There was a dislike of tradition in the culture and the church at that time. Things were changed just for the sake of change. We do need to review many of the choices to throw out old tradtions. Some may be valid but I don't doubt some should be reversed as well. I am not sure why things changed.

Yes, I know the quote from Paul, but why did he change things?

But how do we get there? Are there things the church can do different to better pray what we really believe? The theory is that if we pray better then over a long time it will strengthen our faith. I don't doubt that. What I wonder about is which changes would bring about the most fruit. Sure, interiour change is needed. But how do we get there?

Head coverings mean nothing without changing the head they're covering and the heart that pumps blood to the head. Will head coverings work such a change? I don't think so.
