Is it inappropriate that I only read Vocation Station threads for the few controversial ones that pop up once in a while?

i spit my coke out and some came out of my nose when I read this...

here i am sitting here going down the thread as the posts seem to be getting into a somewhat intense argument on whether or not these two women were gay, and suddenly, you pop in and lighten everything up!

you are like the Rolaids in an upset stomach!

thanx Nihil!

Did you just reference Dr. Hannibal Lecter?!??

Thanks for sharing that, [b]Antigonos[/b]. I've neither read the book nor seen the movie, so it's good to hear what it is able to show and how. It sounds like a really well done story, though I could understand why some people (such as her former sisters) would feel hurt by it.

This is an accurate portrayal of religious life imo.

Hey, the sister on the right is, I think, Sister Dolores Marie. She was a novice when I was a postulant.

When I was discerning religious life I mainly checked out orders that were renowned in the areas of miniature golf and skee ball. Almost joined an order that was heavily into ping pong and water sports. All orders are different and there are many charisms so I imagine a movie would automatically be limited in presenting what it is like.

Yeah, they're such a great order. Always love their habit too. And you can't beat roller skating!

Here is a little montage representing a few popular religious orders and their unique charisms.

You sure have! Great pics and thank you for posting them. I especially liked the one of Sister, sunglasses and all, swinging the baseball bat with real determination and application - eyes on the ball ..........Barb
