OK, so this likely won't devolve (or evolve) into a Spike Lee sex comedy, but a priest in Italy has a funny idea for promoting the Catholic Church: a beauty pageant for nuns and novices.
"Father Antonio Rungi, of Mondragone, near Naples, said he expected at least 1,000 nuns to enter the Sister Italia contest. It would run online at first, but he hoped that it would become a 'real pageant' along the lines of the annual Miss Italy contest."
No swimsuit competition, presumably no questions about how contestants would try to make the world a better place ("Well, duh! By serving God!") -- just a search for the nun best embodying the beauty which Father Rungi says is "a gift from God."
Somebody oughta keep Father Rungi away from the sacramental wine.
