Aren't nuns, like any other Catholic clergy, supposed to put aside all worldly sentiments, or at least try to? Isn't vanity a sin? Isn't pride a cardinal sin, and possibly the root of all the others? Why on earth would someone even suggest to these women, who adopt the names of saints and commit themselves to a life of devotion and service, that they should compete against each other on the basis of appearance? The inappropriateness of this just stuns me.
