 I doubt there will be a swimsuit section but there WILL be a beauty pageant (arranged by an Italian priest) for nuns. "Nuns are a bit excluded, they are a bit marginalized in ecclesiastical life," Rev. Antonio Rungi told The Associated Press after Italian media carried reports of the idea. "This will be an occasion to make their contribution more visible."
Rungi continued: "But being ugly is not a requirement for becoming a nun. External beauty is gift from God, and we mustn't hide it."
I agree that beauty is a gift from God...but I don't believe that it is something to be flaunted, critiqued, scored and judged.
