HisChild Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 How cool is this!? I'm glad that Oprah isn't afraid to have religious life showcased on her show. It'll be on her anniversary week of 2/9-2/13. I think I'll be taping that! http://www.catholicvoteaction.org/americanpapist/index.php?p=1037 or[url="http://www.catholicvoteaction.org/americanpapist/index.php?p=1037"]HERE[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tridenteen Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 JMJ I hope someone tapes it for all of us TVless people! I love the DSMME!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laetitia crucis Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Whooooa... At first sight reading the topic, I thought this thread would have been some kind of silly joke, but WOW. I'm totally shocked!!! So, is she doing the entire episode about religious life or something? (I'd be SHOCKED -- in a very good way -- about that!) Wow... still shocked regardless... DSMME on Oprah... this is some crazy times. Definitely need to watch this. P.S. -- Tridenteen, I think you can watch all of Oprah's shows on abc.com -- ABC usually has all of their television shoes online for free. That's how I caught up on [i]Lost[/i]...

MithLuin Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Part of me has to put out a word of caution - it is *extremely* unusual for anyone involved in mainstream media to "get" religious life in any way. Thus, while I'm sure the sisters will do their best and be themselves, don't be surprised if some of the show comes across as...stupid. I think Oprah can be very respectful towards her guests (I haven't seen her show in years, so I wouldn't know), but she is also a very opinionated woman who is not afraid to share her own point of view. I'm not saying she'll come right out and say, "so you don't have sex? really?" but that attitude is bound to show up in some form or other, even as a joke. So, here's hoping it's a great show, but I don't want people to be shocked/offended by the secular view of religious life, either. [url=http://www.oprah.com/community/thread/104950]HERE[/url] is a thread on Oprah's own forums about how she handles issues of spirituality.

tinytherese Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I don't care if Oprah is well...Oprah. This is a special community who will show the joy of religious life and talk about the beauty of religious life. Heck, Oprah might even be the one who feels stupid talking to them.

HisChild Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 I don't know if anyone knows this, but I just went on Oprah's site tonight to try to find out what day this story is on, and it says it's on Tuesday. I didn't particularly want to record the entire week when all I wished to see was one show. I find it annoying that they call it a 'nunnery'. When Shakespeare said, 'Get thee to a nunnery', there are many who think he meant convent. There are also those who think it meant a brothel, for which nunnery was used as common slang during that time period. I've also heard it said that nunnery means mental institution. Sorry, pet peeve of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilde Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I think it was maybe in the movie black narcissus they called a monastery a nunnery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
