DameAgnes Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hmmmm... [url="http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080824/od_afp/italyreligionwomenoffbeat_080824142531"]http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080824/od_af...at_080824142531[/url] I understand what they're trying to do, here...they're trying to promote the religious life and show that not all nuns are 90 years old...but to me this seems like the wrong tactic. Well-meaning it may be, but it trivializes something profound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominicansoul Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Same thread was in Open Mic. Last post says this was cancelled, and the priest was threatened! Crazy stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mari Therese Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Kinda weird. I undertsand that he's trying to promote vocations. God calls who He wants, and He will always find a way to offer the invitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosaMystica Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I guess the priest has good intentions but the idea is a bit out there and I do agree that it trivializes something profound. I think he should've thought that one through a bit more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomist-in-Training Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Version 2.0! Don't know if anyone will scroll this far down in the thread... but if you do, "Ask Sister Mary Martha" is having a Nun Non Photo Contest. I.e., send in photos of nuns you respect, either in action doing good work, or just being cool. Prize is yet to be determined, same for the deadline.

Jennifer Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Quote in The Sunday Times today :- "The world's first beauty pageant for nuns has been cancelled after the organiser,an Italian priest claimed it's purpose has been "misinterpreted" Apparently Father Antonio Rungi had become alarmed at the wave of hostile comments his plan had elicited. One critic told him that he would end up in hell." It appears that commonsense has prevailed.!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
