A beauty contest for nuns?

Interesting article. An Italian priest is setting up a beauty contest for nuns to emphasize the fact that nuns are beautiful, happy women who possess a special "discreet charm." I'm not sure what I think - having a beauty contest for nuns sounds a little strange - but letting people know that young, happy, beautiful women are being attracted to the religious life is a great thing.

 

Chaput's the Man!

Archbishop Chaput sets Nancy Pelosi straight in no uncertain terms on Church teaching and Church history about abortion. Here's is my favorite part:

Since Speaker Pelosi has, in her own words, studied the issue "for a long time," she must know very well one of the premier works on the subject, Jesuit John Connery's Abortion: The Development of the Roman Catholic Perspective (Loyola, 1977).

Welcome to the ring with the big boys Speaker Pelosi!
