Nuns' beauty contest - sorry, sisters, it's off

The BBC reports, straightfacedly, that Fr. Antonio Rungi of Mondragone, near Naples, has had to call off his idea of a beauty contest for nuns, after expressions of horror from the religious authorities.  He says he was only trying to counteract the image of nuns as elderly and dour, and wouldn't have put them on the catwalk.
