Yes polybore knows this sounds like an episode of Father Ted (if you don't know Father Ted here is an introduction www.youtube.com/watch?v=-T5snc_LYSY&feature=related )

But this is fact not fiction, Father Antonio Rungi has had the excellent idea of inviting the worlds nuns to enter a beauty pageant. All they have to do is send him a photo and a covering letter. If you don't believe polybore then consult the BBC news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7581039.stm

Now polybore kind of wishes that he had thought of this. Polybore does not generally approve of beauty pageants however in this case perhaps it is ok?

Normally, I would think that this was very odd, but I suspect (hope) that Rungi's intent is to remind the world that female beauty is not the product of scanty clothing and plastic surgery.

  Indeed. This is why Father Antonio's notion is intriguing polybore. Spiritual and Physical beauty is quite a combination.

Wow... you're right, it does sound a bit like something out of "Father Ted."

But where I would find it extremely funny on Ted's Craggy Island, I'd say in real life the concept and sentiment is somewhat misplaced.

  Initially polybore imagined Father Jack having the idea. Then remembered that he had a severe aversion to nuns.

  Ted would have used it as some scam to raise money. It would have been fixed, though. Sister Assumpta would have won.

  lol yes. Although this does call to mind an incident of Father Jack dreaming about judging a beauty pageant of sorts. No nuns involved. "More Water".

Nuns gone wild!!!

Heh, nice sentiment, and I agree with the man - beauty is something to be marveled at in a non perverse way.

  I'm rather accustomed to it, actually. Having worked with nude models for years - the whole sexualization = beauty creeps me out, realizing that there is no need for it.
  
  Beauty is something that can be appreciated in a manner of ways, and in any group, in my opinion!

This is so like a recurring dream I used to have that it's scary, I won't reveal all the oily details here. I will just say that they don't call them nuns because they don't get "nun".

  Ah, Someone has listened to your dreams, and made them manifest. Well almost.

  Let's just hope it doesn't become a habit.

  I dare say it would make for an interesting world if all aningeniousname's dreams were to come to pass.

  Polybore was trying to ignore that pun in the hope that it would go away.

  I admit it was a bad pun and I deserved to be throughly pun-ished for it.

  I'm ready and willing to take what's coming to me that's why I'm baring my delicious bottom, hope that's not too cheeky!

If you get all the TV stations and newspapers into the picture, ultimately you will succumb to the pressure of choosing someone who is beautiful and sexy.

  Because it is going to be judged by priests polybore is sure that the spiritual will be given proper consideration.

I actually know a community of cloistered nuns who would make good inner beauty pageant contests because they don't shave, wear deodorant, and keep their hair cropped as short as possible. Since they have no mirrors, they don't care and everything is covered anyway (full habit). The only thing you can see is eyes, nose and chin hair. Lovely ladies--on the inside! BTW I love Father Ted, and yes, I'd pay money to see 97 year old Sister Mary strut her stuff in the evening dress competition.

  Well these nuns surely are in their natural state. Very cloistered nuns indeed. I imagine that there could be quite an inter convent rivalry.
  
  Polybore wonder's if the nuns will set up a Father Universe competition for the Priests. Judged by a panel of nuns of course.
