Thanks to A.A. Cunningham for the original link.
Catholic Ping.
What’s your vote?
I’m for habits!
Seeing those in habits, you can’t say they’re “Nun the worse for wear”....
LOL!
What an...........interesting post. Seriously. Bump.
LOL we have one in our parish who definitely would make the list.
In 20 yrs I wonder if there will be any nuns in the US?
I’m not Catholic, but I like nuns, and I treat them with respect. But, only if they’re dressed and act like nuns — only if they act feminine. If they look and act like some sort of bull dyke, then that is what they get treated like. I find women who dress and act like men to be repulsive, just as I find men who dress and act like women repulsive.
Orders of habitted nuns are growing.
I laughed, I was sad, I was happy for the novices and nuns who are so happy serving Christ.
Very mixed feelings when I first saw this — mostly hilarious — because I know how these sisters wearing street clothes are sinning.
Go to Our Lady’s Warriors>Dissent>Speakers and Authors
Note the first part of that >> is dissent!
The first pic is beautifully photographed.
I just attended a reception in Louisville last night, for the Nashville Sisters (Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia)...and happened to see a couple of the sisters who are pictured above. How delightful and refreshing it was to see those Sisters in their habits, meeting and greeting the folks!!
I'm sure we all saw it.
Despicable. How is this evil monster not excommunicated?
Oh man, I shall always miss seeing the habits of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul with their butterfly-like head covers.
The only way to see that habit is to visit the incorrupt body of St. Catherine Laboure.
This is a part, a big part, of why they have always worn habits, along with monks attire and priests. They all have distinctive dress for a reason. These religious orders are not jobs, they are vocations. You don't do nunning, you are a nun. It is a whole life dedicated to God, and it is a recognition of who you really are. To think that you could be a nun or priest in the afternoon, take off your uniform and be someone else like you were getting off your shift at Taco Bell is a completely alien concept.
So when you see these new nuns in civilian clothes, the natural question is to ask is are they really nuns? And the answer, especially from experience since the 1960s, is that the clothes make the woman.
Remember how the seminaries were in such a mess and then the Pope sent emissaries to investigate and clean them out? Now the seminaries are bursting with young men who want to be priests.
Look at the ages in these pictures — the dissenting nuns are older and are dying off. They are being replaced by new orders of habited nuns, also reverent and Christ-serving, not self-serving like the older nuns doing their own thing.
And now Pope Benedict is sending emissaries to check out the convents.
Watch — in five to ten years the (cleaned out and sent on the straight and narrow path) convents will be bulging too.
Beautiful, thanks.
