Priest plans online beauty contest for nuns

An Italian priest plans to hold a beauty contest for nuns. The Rev. Antonio Rungi tells reporters that Miss Sister 2008 will begin next month on his blog.

"The contestants must be aged between 18 and 40, and can be either full members of an order or novices," The Times of London reports. "Father Rungi said that he expected many who applied to be young, attractive — and non-Italian."

Rungi tells the Associated Press that the photos won't be suggestive. "We are not going to parade nuns in bathing suits," he says. "But being ugly is not a requirement for becoming a nun. External beauty is gift from God, and we mustn't hide it."
