Nuns Are Hot
…. with the media right now. Well, o.k., they are not precisely nuns but the media does not recognize the distinction between religious sisters who are cloistered and those who are not.
Any way, there has been quite a bit of interest lately, about women devoting their lives to become brides of Christ as Catholic religious. It seems ever since Time ran a story a little while back…The coverage continued with Good Morning America and local television stations out at St. John’s Catholic Newman Center interviewing Sister Sarah Roy and Katharine Johnson.
Now, People Magazine has done a story on Andrea Jaeger, the 1980s women’s tennis star who has just completed her third month as a Dominican sister. She has gone from tennis imp to Sister Andrea. The story is an interesting read. While the order is part of the Anglican Communion, I would suspect that if her dream was an authentic vision, St. Catherine will be back to lead her the rest of the way home.

I read about her a while back. I really am perplexed as to how her order can be “Dominican” seeing as St. Dominic was not only Roman Catholic, but profoundly so.
Just another example of how our seperated brethren have stolen from us left and right, while at the same time patting themselves on the back for their 500-year split from Rome.
But good tidings to Sr. Andrea. Anyone who tries to do good in Christ’s name is okay in my book.
