Fresh Ideas

The suggestion of an Italian priest to stage an online pageant for nuns was stopped because he was misinterpreted.

Father Antonio Rungi told Reuters that his superiors were not pleased by his intention.

His idea was posted on his blog and would have started this September. He said that this idea was only presented to him by some nuns and was only misinterpreted by some as a “physical thing”.

His concept for this contest is each month, the nuns will vote for themselves and would be judged according to several criteria like their spirituality, charity, social awareness and other attributes. He said that the nuns will fill out a form together with their photograph.

Rungi said that he will not post nuns exposing most of their physical side.

He said that his intention is to show the world the “inner beauty” of nuns throughout the world.
