Norms of Piety then, Norms of Vanity now

Here is a list of the replacement of the Catholic norms of piety into norms of vanity. This post may be subject to change if I find other cases. You can contribute here and I will credit you for it. just leave it in the comment and I will add it in the post.:)

1. Rosary in the pocket then; comb and mirror in the pocket now.
2. Novena, prayer, and petition cards then; powder, cologne, and make-up now.
3. Prayers upon waking up then; refreshing upon waking up now.
4. Prayers before sleeping then; cucumbers in the eyes before sleeping now.
5. Going to the mass on Sundays then; going to mall on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursday, Fridays, and Saturdays now.
6. Gathering indulgences then; gathering pogi points now.
7. Examination of conscience then; examination of visage now.
8. Confessing sins to priests then; confessing figure problems to dermatologists and Vicky Belo now.
9. Visiting the Blessed Sacrament then; visiting the spa now.
10. Monthly recollection then; unnecessary monthly parlor now.

I am not of the opinion that certain activities I described are essentially 'norms of vanity,' they become so when you do them with the intention of just trying to look good, to attract lovers for example or just for the simple sake of looking good and fishing compliments. In fact, many of them are indispensable if you want to develop a holistic you inevitably includes looking at least appreciable on the outside. Just think for example if the Pope does not brush his teeth, then he may lose some authority.
Again, moderation and correction of intention is what is needed.
