OK, I understand the desire to make the consecrated life look attractive, but a religious sisters’ beauty pageant is going too far.
There couldn’t be much harm in, say, profiling young and joyful nuns, but surely a beauty contest , no matter how modest and unobjectionable the operative notion of “beauty,” could only risk exciting the worldly vanity that consecrated sisters have presumably repudiated. Of course, this reasoning does not necessarily apply to secular priests . . .
