ANOTHER WAY TO BEAUTIFY THE CHURCH
or
10 REASONS NUNS SHOULD WEAR HABITS
Behold the Dominican nuns pictured above. We cannot see their faces, but we are instantly attracted to and fascinated by them. And we all know why. IT'S THE HABITS.
Nuns wearing habits are beautiful, enchanting and wonderful. They are a bold rebuke to a corrupt society hypnotized by its own vanity. They are a mystery. Those habits are an invitation to God. They preach to us. They say, "I have something deeper that gives my life meaning and I don't need or want all that other stuff."
And nuns in habits almost always look happy. Very happy.
If you've ever moved to a new parish and been surprised to find that the older woman in the polyester pants suit sitting near the front every week was really Sister Pat, welcome to the club.
Why do nuns need to see hair stylists? Why must they suffer the indignities of scanning the selections at Lane Bryant and Woman's World? Does it bespeak their vows of poverty when they have to find just the right earrings or necklaces? Do nuns really need makeup? Does it show fidelity to the Church when their clothing is a product of the same modern world that has given us bikinis, breast implants and birth control pills?
Does it convince the laity that a woman has renounced all personal vanity when she has to look "smart"? Can the average layperson believe this is a woman "set apart" for God when she looks like everyone else?
Oh, we've all heard the arguments against habits:
Many of these nuns work in the world, and habits just won't fit in. Nuns in habits are not "approachable". We need to make sure that the laity can see that nuns are real people just like you and me.
BULLCOOKIES!
Of course nuns are real people! Do you think those are martians in those habits? There is no more approachable person you will find than a Catholic nun. And, for the record, nuns are not "just like you and me." They are ladies set apart, spouses to Our Savior, immersed in love and service.
Are you still not convinced?
All right then. Here are 10 reasons why nuns should wear habits:
REASON ONE
Sister Joan Chittester
REASON TWO
Sister Jeanine Gramick
REASON THREE
Sister Patricia Cruise
REASON FOUR
Sister Margaret Mary McBride
(Excommunicated)
REASON FIVE
Sister Donna Quinn, OP
REASON SIX
Sister Camille D'Arienzo
REASON SEVEN
Sister Elizabeth Johnson
REASON EIGHT
Sister Carol Keehan
REASON NINE
Sister Barbara Reid, OP
REASON TEN
Sister Mary Ann Hinsdale
And for all you "But what about Vatican II?" folks:
"The religious habit, an outward mark of consecration to God, should be simple and modest, poor and at the same becoming. In addition it must meet the requirements of health and be suited to the circumstances of time and place and to the needs of the ministry involved. The habits of both men and women religious which do not conform to these norms must be changed."
-Perfectae Caritatis
Vatican II Decree on the Adaptation and Renewal of Religious Life
The key word here is "changed". It doesn't say "eliminated".
Do you know of any religious orders without habits that are "renewed"?
Finally, just in case you've missed the obvious, there's an eleventh reason nuns should wear habits: They look more feminine. Definitely.

It is repulsive because they hate God—they hate how he designed their own body. They hate themselves. Haters are repulsive. Women and men should rejoice in their femininity and masculinity and the differences between the sexes-—God’s Design.

I am for the habits. It gives much more dignity to the body. It is also hard to be immodest.
Of course, I love most traditional things about the Church-—I also want the Latin Mass back. Marxists tried to destroy the church by infiltration—they created the Liberation Theology churches and destroyed the concept of “social justice” destroying subsidiarity.
Using girls as if they are the same as boys—destroys masculine aspect of boys and men. Girls should have distinct duties separated from boys. The Church needs to treat girls and boys as fundamentally different—which they are. God loves both the male and the female, but he designed them for different roles. Dissolving the roles in kids creates gender confusion in children. The Church used to understand that. They have been cowed by feminists and worried about being called patriarchal and sexist——
Patriarchy is a Great thing, by the way-—most effective way to organize societies.

I vote traditional Habits for the nuns.
+ Parents take your children out of public-schools = to be home schooled or sent to a church school.
+ One television in the house in the family-room + an Internet filter for the computers. & Computers used in a common-living-area.
I tried to send a comment to #22 & say, ‘beelzebub may have a spot in Hell for all eternity where ‘the guys’ are bloated with painful intestinal gas & engaged in a perpetual f#rting contest.’
Something happened; My Guardian Angel must have decided such comments should be general ones & not addressed to specific people = out of Christian Charity.

Should be made mandatory in all public appearance for nuns and priests and bishops. Yes, it's about time our priests started dressing the part again as well.

At the Last Supper, Christ washes the feet of the apostles, correct. He is the servant.
Jesus sets the example for all nuns, brothers, priests, deacons and bishops — right there at the Last Supper.
Is that in your Bible?
Be a servant, always.
“Lovoe one another as I have loved you.”

Communist Goals (1963)
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
I'm not Catholic and not a religious person, but I vote for Nuns with habits.
To: beaversmom
Thanks for that additional info too. Not only a communist goal, but a goal of the masons too.

I like habits, but wish that some were more practical. The long white dress an religious acquaintance wears to teach school in is impractical for the task. If they had some form of religious themed ‘scrubs’ or something, with a wimple, they’d be a lot more comfortable, and still conspicuous.
(This is why nobody in religious life has ever sought out my opinion on the subject.)
