.- Sr. Cristina Scuccia is a 25 year old member of the Ursuline Sisters of the Holy Family who has appeared on "The Voice of Italy," a reality show akin to "American Idol" or "Britain’s Got Talent."
Sr. Cristina surprised the four judges on The Voice of Italy March 19 with both her talent and her habit.
The judges on the show begin with their backs turned to the performer, and turn around only if they like what they hear.
As the judges turned to face Sr. Cristina, their astonishment was visible at seeing a young nun singing Alicia Keys’ “No One.”
A native of Sicily, Sr. Cristina arrived at the show accompanied by four sisters from her community, as well as her parents.
The four judges of the popular TV program are the Italian singers Raffaella Carra, J-Ax, Noemi, and Piero Pelu.
After her performance, Carra asked Sr. Cristina if she is really a nun, and why she chose to compete on the show.
“Yes, I am truly, truly a sister,” she replied.
“I came here because I have a gift and I want to share that gift. I am here to evangelize.”
According to the show’s format, when a participant receives the approval of the judges, they then choose which judge’s team to join.
Sr. Cristina chose J-Ax “because I told myself that if they turned around, I would choose the first one.”
J-Ax, who was visibly moved when he saw Sr. Cristina, said he was thrilled to have been chosen by the most popular participant on the show.
Sr. Cristina is trending on Twitter with “#suorcristina.”
Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, president of the Pontifical Council for Culture, used the hashtag in a tweet Thursday, commending her for sharing her talent with the Italian people: “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others (1 Peter 4:10)”.
So she IS a nun?
And some nun killed herself a quarter century ago who also sang?
Wow, this is some strange stuff, but she is a nun and that wasn’t “a nun costume”?
Can’t enjoy
Can’t enjoy
Must judge
Must judge
Must condemn
Must condemn...
So that was a religious song she was singing?
"R-E-S-P-E-C-T....find out what it means to me...."
So...do you believe that if a Catholic Priest plays golf he is a poser in Priest’s garb? After all, that isn’t in the Scriptures for him to do. It’s a worldly activity.
I don’t know, but according to you she isn’t a nun, and she was wearing a fake costume, “”she’s not a real nun. She’s a poser””, but she did fool a Roman Catholic Cardinal into praising her appearance, and thinking she really is a nun.
You should send the Cardinal and her order what you posted.
“”She is a woman wearing a nun costume.
You don’t really have any idea what a nun is, do you?””
So was that a religious song she was singing?
You can also tell the Cardinal to look at the direct quotes of what you have been posting, and tell him that you don’t just make up facts and post obvious untruths, that you aren’t just telling bizarre, bald faced lies.
Seriously, my 2nd grade nun was kicked out of the order for joining in the singing of “Happy Birthday” because that wasn’t a religious song she was singing
It must have been something unique to her order, if your childhood memories are correct.
“Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, president of the Pontifical Council for Culture, used the hashtag in a tweet Thursday, commending her for sharing her talent with the Italian people: “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others (1 Peter 4:10)”.”

Na, honestly just made it up to mock the goofball who, out of many replies, makes one
Absolutely wonderful video, especially the end. Thanks for the post.
You have no idea what you are talking about.
She said she came to evangelize to millions.
If the world had more nuns like her, there would be more nuns. And more Christians.
You sound like an old fool.
She sounds like this kind of nun.
My wife works with a nun who has raised tens if millions of dollars to provide care for the poor in our community. In the last twenty years I have heard her sing, and seen her dance.
Is she not a nun?
Amen
You need to get laid.
BRAVO!!!!
Does she have a wife?
