Nun rapped for wild dancing

BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) -- A Belgian nun's acrobatic and indecorous dancing with a missionary during the Catholic World Youth Day in Germany over the weekend earned her a reprimand from her mother superior, a Belgian paper said on Tuesday.

Daily Het Laatste Nieuws showed pictures of a dancing Johanne Vertommen being held up in the air by the missionary, and then clinging to him with her legs wrapped around his body.

"I wouldn't do this at home but at such occasions I get carried away by the enthusiasm of the group," the 29-year-old told the paper later.

"My mother superior raised the issue today: she thinks I should watch out a bit and bear in mind that I represent our community," Vertommen said.

Pope Benedict attended the celebration at the Marienfeld, outside Cologne, in the presence of some 700,000 people.

Just as long as she doesn't pull out a guitar and start singing folk songs...

Now, that would be reason for reprimand.

The only nuns I really knew were the ones I had for teachers over 40 years ago. Perhaps that's why my mind has such a difficult time grappling with that image.

Now if that had only been His Holiness instead of some unknown missionary . . .

PS: The story said something about the good sister being 29 years old. That was always the odd thing in my day. You could never tell how old they might be. You think St'r is 90 years old when you're in 4th grade, and you go back to the school for a reunion 40 years later and she's still there.

PPS: And it's not like she was "new" when I had her. She was also my brother's 4th grade teacher, and he's 10 years older than me. My brother says he knows she was there when he started 1st grade.

I just went to a function at the Catholic high school which my daughters all attended or do attend, and they recognized Sister Margaret Leo for .... 55 years of service.

The high school I attended was right next door to the retirement home for the order. And across the street from the cemetary for the order.
You wanna talk about OLD nuns???? For some reason, the principal would assign these ancient nuns to teach religion. They couldn't hear. They could barely walk. All they would talk about was their "vows of poverty" and the "horrors of sex". They had no idea what grade to give anyone because they could never keep any student's name straight.

Yeah - whatever.............

My mother-in-law has a picture of her 50th H.S. reunion and one of the guests was a nun who was one of that class' teachers.

On a merely tangentially related subject--Nuns, by virtue of their similar lifestyles and regular health care, have made excellent subjects for an ongoing study which has tracked who is most likely to suffer dementia in old age and why. Great book on it called Aging with Grace.

There is no mention in the book of lap or pole dancing, but I'd guess those activities might keep the brain young for some people.
