Miss Sister 2008 Informations from Wikipedia

ROME - An Italian priest and theologian said Sunday he is an online beauty for nuns to give them more visibility within the Catholic Church and fight against the stereotype that they are all old and Dour.
The "Sister MISS 2008" contest will begin in September on a blog run by the Rev. Antonio Rungi and give nuns around the world a chance to present their work and image.
"Sisters are somewhat excluded, they are somewhat marginalized in the ecclesiastical life," Rungi told the Associated Press after Italian media reported on the idea. "This will be an opportunity to make their contribution more visible."
Rungi, a theologian and teacher of the region of Naples, said that visitors to its site have a month to "vote for the nun they regard as a model."
Nuns fill a profile including information on their life and vocation, and a photo. It will be up to them to choose whether to pose with the traditional veil or head discovery.
"We are not going to religious parade in bathing suits," Rungi said by telephone from his home town of Mondragone. "But being ugly is not a requirement to become a nun. External beauty is a gift of God, and we must not hide."
Rungi said the idea was first suggested to him by nuns with whom he regularly prays and works. He hopes there will be tens of communications, once the site is launched.
The contest has drawn criticism from the Association of Catholic Teachers.
"It's an initiative that demeans the role of nuns who dedicate themselves to God," the group's president, Alberto Giannino, "said the Italy news agency ANSA on Sunday.
