MAIL Online: An Italian priest wants nuns across the world to flaunt it in the name of beauty.
Reverend Antonio Rungi, of Mondragone, near Naples, has come up with a novel way of enticing young people back to the church.
He has organised a beauty contest open only to nuns, to give them more visibility within the Catholic church, and to fight the stereotype that they are old and dour.
It would run online at first, but Reverend Rungi is hopeful that it will one day take off in the real world alongside the all-singing and all-dancing Miss Italia competition.
He said it would give nuns from around the world a chance to showcase their work and image. 'Miss Sister 2008': Web Vote to Find World's Most Beautiful Nuns >>> | August 25, 2008
