Catholic Ping.

What’s your vote?

I’m for habits!

[RightOnline]

What an...........interesting post. Seriously. Bump.

[nascarnation]

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?

[Born to Conserve]

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.

Am I the only that noticed Ms. Quinn in her nuns for choice

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!!

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.

I am not Catholic, but many of my friends are. Also, some of my relatives have been treated in Catholic hospitals and I can tell you that they found the presence of a habited nun to be reassuring and calming (especially when they wanted someone to pray with them).

[PapaBear3625]

"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."

If you actually read it, what the Pope is evidently talking about is ensuring that the habit is appropriate to circumstances. Garb suitable for Sweden is not likely to be suitable for humid tropical climates. Garb for hospital work should be suitable for the environment so the nun or priest do not carry disease from ward to ward, etc.

OMG. Helen Thomas. Coulda been a Nun.

“Nuns for Choice” is my nominee for Non-Sequitur of the Year. :)

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.

I seem to be missing the posts invoking the scriptural directive for this.
