George Takai NAILS it. "Who Died?"

116. The ancient Greeks believed that

women, upon entering a temple with an uncovered head, could be impregnated by the gods. Because Christianity was, essentially, created by a Greek, the practice of requiring women to wear head covering while in a house of worship was implemented into Christian practice and eventually kept by Catholics. That's my theory.

I was a Catholic for the first 15 years of my life, had 6 years of Catechism(catholic teachings), yet I never learned why, before Vatican II, women were required to cover their heads. When I learned of the Greek belief about the vulnerability of females inside temples, I concluded that that was the origin of Catholicism's practice of it.

I'm sure that Catholic theologians would disagree with me
