These Sisters taught me at Primary School.
Sister Francis was my Best Teacher.She
always had a smile and a good personality.
Love the Charity hat!!! Will it ever return? What a horrible mistake taking the nuns out of those beautiful habits. They just aren’t the same!!!
Same as for nurses..no more caps!! How do you tell who is a nurse in the hospital??? You can’t!!! We are regressing big time!! I always wore
My cap..even after most nurses retired theirs. The nurses loved see me in full uniform!!

Well, it’s really really hard to drive a car in a giant Charity hat
Vatican ll destroyed that among many other things.
These good nuns were my first teachers, and inspired me to the priesthood. I wonder how many of them every knew that one of their little boys eventually made protonotary apostolic.
where was this, and why are they wearing that starched wimmel?
alwellus I am sure they will be content with just knowing you are a good, Christian person.
And for that little sin of pride, father, you'll say ten Aves and beg for your bread!
@@gunnarthorsen Been watching the Nun's Story, again? No brag, just fact. Considering that none are being named (I think that will change once a new Pope is in Office), I've often joked that when I die, the Smithsonian may have me to stuff and put on display. I can say that I earned all my elevations, as I have one of the worse jobs that a priest may have.
@@RW-kp3wr November of 1964, on the first Sunday of Advent was went many changes started. Religious garb reform was one of them.
The reform, it all went down hill from there
Our nuns wore dignified looking habits until the 1960's. Then they switched to modified habits with veils and dresses that still went below the knee. Eventually this changed to knee length dresses and even shorter veils, with one of the nuns wearing hers on top of a big bouffant hairdo. I remember one of these nuns speaking with a student on a windy day. The sister had to keep one hand on her little veil and one on her skirts. The student wore the then popular "maxi-coat" and was unruffled.
Then the nuns switched to lay clothes and looked like frumpy Edwardian nannies. Finally they went whole hog and started wearing pants, makeup, jewelry, smoking, and getting their hair done. To identify as "nuns", they wore a teeny little pin on their lapel or blouse, then even this became optional because they didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable". After this they moved out of the convent and into an apartment. They took lay jobs, increased participation in social action, gave up teaching, and basically lived like laywomen, but for their celibacy. Some of them left the order, some left the church.
Do I blame changing habits or a lack of habits for this? Not totally, there were other factors involved as well, but the habit DID play a roll in identifying nuns AS nuns to the public, being in effect a "witness" to their calling, making them visible, serving as a reminder of non-earthly things; it created a visual sense of community in which all sisters were equal; it freed the sisters from having to worry about their clothes and from competing; it reminded the sisters of who they were, who they represented, and how they were to conduct themselves. Thank God that some orders today are readopting the habit. That, coupled with an inner renewal regarding the meaning of consecrated life, has them flourishing while others wither.
If it is such a good idea why don't all the seminaries do the same
I'm a member of a religious order and I really prefer not to wear the habit. I feel that it sets me apart from everyone else, especially at Mass. Out of humility, I would rather not call attention to myself. I only wear it out of obedience. If I had my preferences, I definitely would not.
@@jbw53191 lol So why you are in religious community? Why you hate habits? It's demonic.
@@ginterka381996 Because religious life is not about the habits. Habits are superficial, external "things." Religious life is much more than what one wears.
@@jbw53191 I know it, but habit is also very important.
Aw, Sr. Bertrill
"The Flying Nun"
As an orphan in one of their orphanages in Ireland, we went to bed one night and got up next morning to see the Nuns had changed their habits. Gone were their silly white hats to be replaced by the new Navy blue box hats. We thought the last lot had left! yes around 1964 too!
They were just supposed to get rid of flamable habits and things that weren't naturally simple, God save the sacred wimple.
I loved being taught by the DCs unfortunately many have shed the habit altogether
It would make sense to keep the traditional habit for devotions. And wear a streamlined modern outfit for work. I've never heard of that being tried. Anyone know why?
no sound
This happened many years ago.
Those white ones look absolutely ridiculous.
Wimples
You have to be kidding !!!
No sound nor Arrangement !!!
Sad times, the beginning of destruction of religious live
My Grandfather calls those hats “sailing ships”.
They were nicknamed GOD'S Geese
Your gonna start flying like the Flying Nun.
Well spell the gear correctly in your propaganda...
Cette cornette , quelle horreur d'obliger des femmes à s'affubler de cette façon, et puis pas très commode quand il vente fort !
Quand la commande a été commencée, toutes les femmes s'habillaient comme ça. La conception a permis au vent de souffler autour de la cornette.
Weird habits....well...different strokes...for different folks.....lol
Bad habit.
Their habits were much practical than most of the time - there was no tucks, pleats and special pinning to be done - they were sewn in place and fell naturally with gravity.
The female Klu Klux Clan.
They predate your kk k.
What silly looking hats! Mad hatter. Bad habit.
These cornettes were modeled on what women wore daily back in the 1600's in Normandy, France.
