Safia: exactly! I think a lot of PMers feel the same about these religious life docs. Regardless, I am always excited for a peek inside the cloisters they report on.

truthfinder: on the last link? Thanks for the info!

"Our America" will now be airing on Tuesdays instead of Sundays, so we have to wait a few more days to see the nuns :(

New promo:

I can't watch any of the videos on the website so if anyone has a link that would be great.

At least we got a new promo-although I will admit, that one sister she talks to worries me. She sounds like she might give viewers a bad image of the religious life. She just doesn't seem genuinely joyful to give up the outside world for Jesus. We all have dounts, but all she seems to talk about are her doubts and struggles. Im sure the fell episode will shed more light and probably give a more accurate/full picture.

There are no videos up yet but there is a tab on the webpage that says "full episodes" so maybe in time they will upload them.

Did anyone see this Tuesday? I don't have cable but there are a few (three I think) new clips they put up, [url="http://www.oprah.com/own-our-america-lisa-ling/Deleted-Scenes-A-Calling-From-Christ"]http://www.oprah.com...ing-From-Christ[/url] I thought this one on Sr. Caterina was not bad.. pretty good. :like:

I feel the same way.. There's a new clip on them but not talking with the postulant, [url="http://www.oprah.com/own-our-america-lisa-ling/Deleted-Scenes-The-Black-Veil"]http://www.oprah.com...-The-Black-Veil[/url]

I watched it, at least the last 30 minutes or so. I really liked Marallis and the Carms.

The videos are not available in my part of the world. If anyone has a link for watching the episode I'd be grateful.

It was a somewhat liberal take .... although both perspectives were shown. The show ended with the idea that the Church needed to adjust with the times (delayed vocations, divorced candidates, etc.)

I don't think I will never forget the transgendered person saying "my become a nun? Why not?"

The sister working with her, although I applaud her for working with those that are marginalized in society she definitely has too liberal of a view. She let the transgendered person think that he could become a nun ... And that was completely ridiculous.
