This is true, even today some still perform this act. However, that's a personal thing and not a Catholic thing. Take Mel Gibson for example - a person who's "Catholic" beliefs are very much NOT in line with much of Catholic teaching. He rejects all the changes made in Vatican II (which was around 1963, so, yes, it was more like 40 years ago, not 50), so I'm sure the people that go to the church he built probably do cover their heads.
Either way, I think the distinction between personal belief and Church belief is an important one to make.
