The Anchoress is wary and wonders why as to Catholic vocations the media is obsessed about sex.
See Dominican Sisters on Oprah
Update- Bad Habit has a excellent comment in my comment section as well as post on this. See NUNS, GEISHA’S AND STUFF. For some reason I thought the show was today so I missed it.
Wow...Anchoress and I are on the same track (although her blog is far superior to mine), I wrote a post about it today. I did see the show and I was just thrilled with the performance of the Dominican nun community that was featured. They were just amazing! I was very leery of Oprah, because frankly, I don't care for her. But the nuns kept Oprah from making it all about sex and materialism, and they put it all in its proper perspective.
ReplyDeleteI was very impressed....with the nuns, not Oprah. I didn't get a chance to watch the part about the Geisha's because I have no interest in them. I would have preferred that Oprah do a complete shows just on the nuns and the Geisha's separately. But...well, we're talking about Oprah here.
I will link you rpost. I had no idea the show was on yesterday. I hated I missed it. I thought it was today :(
ReplyDeleteWhy the negativity towards Oprah? We should love all, including the Geisha's. I think the Nun's looked great. It is wonderful that they got to be featured for all they do and the goodness they spread. I kind of feel many great girls/women, will think about being in service of the lord from watching this.
ReplyDeleteExcellent showcase on the wonderful nuns. They get so little press.
I'm amazed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that's
ReplyDeleteboth equally educative and entertaining, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
The problem is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about.
I am very happy that I found this during my hunt for something
relating to this.
