The Vatican has been accused of hypocrisy after Swiss Guards launched a crackdown on tourists wearing skimpy clothing.

Visitors said that at a time when the Catholic Church is battling scandals over paedophile priests and decades of cover-ups, it should have more important things to worry about.

Hypocrisy and being correct are not mutually exclusive.

There are dress codes in religious buildings throughout the world, not just xians.
You adhere to the requests of the owners of the religious buildings.
You have a choice, dress appropriately or don't go.

Some places loan you skirts or sweaters.

I don't see a problem here.
