Swami Mommy Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Oooh, this looks wonderful! I already wrote down the info so I can record the series. Thanks for letting us know about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carla Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 It seams interesting but i hope so that they will stay focused on their discerning and their vocation.It will be hard to focus their self with all this cameras and attention. I wish them all well on their vocation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puellapaschalis Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Given how most if not all reality shows are far from reality and are in fact scripted to a large extent, I wonder how this can serve any useful purpose. It will probably lack authenticity, and without authenticity it's just ratings fodder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freedomreigns Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Also, I think vocational discernment is not the sort of thing that should be "lived out loud." God speaks in the silence of our hearts and it is best to reduce rather than to add distractions. I hope each of them have a spiritual director who will be able to guide them.

veritasluxmea Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I agree with the concerns voiced already, but I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt for the moment. Hope it goes well and helps other discerners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiquitunga Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 from reading different articles about it, it seems like it might be okay, https://www.osv.com/OSVNewsweekly/ByIssue/Article/TabId/735/ArtMID/13636/ArticleID/16398/%E2%80%98Sisterhood%E2%80%99-lets-viewers-go-behind-convent-doors.aspx but, after watching the preview.... http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/the-sisterhood-becoming-nuns my goodness!

Kateri89 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Hey you guys might catch a glimpse of my face if you watch the show :) I was on a retreat with one of the women that's on this show. Just a couple months ago I was visiting the Capuchin Sisters of Nazareth and the film crew was there so at most you might see me entering the chapel with the rest of the young women and that's about it lol.

Kateri89 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) Oh wow, they filmed at the Capuchin Sisters of Nazareth as well? Yeah but after I looked at the website I'm a little confused. The young woman that I met that was supposed to be on the show was named Angela and none of those women are her lol. Plus she told me it would be on TLC not lifetime, unless this is a different show but I'll be surprised if there are two reality shows about this...

Sr Mary Catharine OP Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 The producers were in conversation with us for about 2 months. They originally asked to do a 5 minute thing but as we continued to be in correspondence it was clear that they had a storyboard for us to fit into and we said NO THANKS! They were not happy. We've said no many times to different production companies to be part of something like this. It doesn't look very hopeful to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriela Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Leonie's Longing was also contacted by Cracked magazine for an interview. After several back-and-forths, it was clear they weren't interested in showing the reality of women who have returned to the world. We said no. I think that interest in nuns right now hints at a deep longing in people's hearts for a more meaningful life. There seems to be a public fascination with them that isn't just the "sexy naughty virgin nun" thing it once was. I think media producers are picking up on this, but they don't know how to make the kind of show that would help people to find meaning through the example of sisters, so instead they produce junk like this. I watched the preview. It looks like drama, Drama, DRAMA! Not going to watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
