Wouldn't You Like to See All Nuns in Habits Again?...
...Instead of permed in pantsuits and pearls spouting dissent? I enjoyed this video about the nuns' habits but it made me sad as well. Think of what's been lost. When sisters shed the habits, they lost much else besides (Some threw off the faith along with it.) -- especially the sign value to the world of the consecrated life that puts Christ above all!
I used to have several nun dolls (before Vatican II) and I'm going to start looking for them when I'm out at thrift shops. For kids who never see a real nun, only faux imitations like Sr. Joan Chittister and the nuns on the bus, the dolls can be a learning tool. And they bring back so many fond memories of nuns in my own life. RIP Sr. Joanna, Sr. Avila, Sr. Germella, Sr. Jeanne Marie, and Sr. Joan Marie. Thanks for the smile when I think of your speech class, Sr. Marion Rita. Most of us were terrified of you and that was probably a healthy thing.
