Nun Beauty Contest - Miss Sister 2008 is a nun beauty contest in Italy put together by Rev. Antonio Rungi, who says Brazilian nuns are the hottest nuns in the world.
The nun beauty contest is an online beauty pageant with unfortunately no swimsuit competition featuring Brazilian nuns.
Rungi said about the Miss Sister Italy contest, ”We are not going to parade nuns in bathing suits. But being ugly is not a requirement for becoming a nun. “External beauty is gift from God, and we mustn’t hide it.”
The Miss Sister 2008 nun beauty contest will start in September on a blog run by Rev Rungi and will give nuns from around the world a chance to showcase their work and their image.
“You really think all nuns are old, stunted and sad? This isn’t the case any more, thanks to the arrival in our country of young and vital nuns,” notably from Africa and Latin America, Father Rungi added.
Father Antonio Rungi, a moral theologian, said the nuns would not wear revealing outfits either and said what he valued most in a woman was “inner beauty”.
Asked for his feminine ideal, he replied “Well, I would say Sophia Loren”.
Nun beauty pageant contestants must be between 18 and 40, and can be either full members of an order or novices. Father Rungi said he expected many of those who applied to be young, attractive and non-Italian.
No word on what prizes the beauty contest winner will receive.
And that’s the latest news on Miss Sister 2008, the nun beauty contest.

ROME (Reuters) - An Italian priest who had planned an online “pageant” for nuns has suspended the project, saying he was misinterpreted and had no intention of putting sisters on a beauty catwalk.
“My superiors were not happy. The local bishop was not happy, but they did not understand me either,” Father Antonio Rungi told Reuters by telephone from his convent in southern Italy Tuesday.
“It was not at all my intention to put nuns on the catwalk,” said Rungi, a priest of the Passionists religious order, speaking from his convent in the town of Mondragone.
Rungi’s idea appeared in newspapers around the world after he wrote of a contest for nuns on his blog, called by some “Sister Italy 2008.”
“It was interpreted as more of a physical thing. Now, no-one is saying that nuns can’t be beautiful, but I was thinking about something more complete,” he said.
