    My favorite (Catholic) priest back home would (and as far as I know still does) run 10-15 miles a day around the college campus where our parish was, praying for all the students he would see. He would also organize fun runs participate in marathons and half-marathon fundraisers for his various causes. He was also openly gay and actively working for policy change within the Catholic church regarding acceptance. Christianity, you're doing it right.

    My priest used to jog in short shorts, a tee-shirt, and his collar. It cracked me up.

    @LaComtesse: I saw our priest at the grocery store in full civilian gear -- and a ipod -- the other day.


    It totally threw me off!

    I have always rather fancied wearing a traditional medieval style nun's habit with the wimple and the long skirts that would make a lovely swishing sound as I spun around. I wouldn't shave my head though and would swop the clumpy shoes for black plimsolls.I would also do what Muslim woman to in their veils and wear eye make-up and lipstick. I would be responsible for looking after the convent's flower and vegetable gardens, the hens, the dairy and for ringing the bells. I would also have to be taught the organ so I could play that too. It would have to be a special order that did not believe in getting up early and had ensuite facilities for the nun's cells. As you can see I have given this matter a great deal of thought over the years.

    @Rare Affinity: Is there a waiting list? Every convent needs someone to take care of the cats.

    @Spritie: We could be the founding members. Cats are a great idea both as mousers and stress busters. Nothing more soothing than stroking one for helping to bring the old blood pressure down.

    In reply to Nun Explains Why Running Is Her Habit
    She has been inspired by the Robbie Coltrane film "Nuns on the run." Trouble is I have seen so many images of men on gay parades wearing nuns' outfits that it would take a while for me to realise that it was a genuine nun running in her habit and not some man parodying such women.
