Neil,
Sister Hart is living in community in the same way that the early christian community of the apostles lived their lives.Read Pauls letters to see what he said about marriage.It suits those who choose it.Those who choose to remain single out of devotion to God can hardly be faulted.A life of prayer and humility is not counter Christian,it is counter cultural.People refer to themselves as Catholics,Presbyterians,Lutherans for Theological reasons,for what their denominations emphasize or hold as truths.Faith for some people is an inner conviction of moral and biblical truths.We have gone so far as a christian society to believe that everyone goes to heaven.How can that be?We as baptized Christians have the opportunity to get to heaven.We make the choices.Very seldom are they selfish choices..Peace in Jesus

Neil Neil Neil read your scripture!
Whom did Jesus say had chosen the better path . . .Martha who kept busy and rushed to and fro. . . or Mary, who sat in the prescence of the Lord in quiet adoration and contemplation

I watched her movie “Where the boys are” a week ago & because of the year I wanted to find out about Dolores Hart as her name was not that familiar. I also wanted to see how a beautiful woman would look in her late sixties or early seventies. To my shock & utter amazement did I discover that she became a nun. I am a born again Christian and have been serving & worshipping God for many years, though certainly not as many as Sister Dolores. I know if the woman I loved had done that to me I would never have recoverd from the shock. I have had enough of Christian denominations. I firmly believe we are a Christian first & foremost & should not declare I’m Catholic or Anglican or Methodist or anything else for that matter. I have tried to use my faith & time to reach out to the lost for many years now & it was a sad day for the world & her former fiance that Sister Dolores shut herself in a monastery. I just feel so sad as I do believe she could have still maintained her true belief in Christ & used her talents & beauty to reach out to the world around about her. God has never said men & women should not marry. I do think that some of the problems the Catholic “Denomination” has with their priests is the whole question af being single. Having said all that, Sister Dolores, judging by the photo above, must still be a most beautiful woman, both inside & physically. For me it’s a tradgedy. May God continue to bless her & reachout to those she can reach.

I went to St. Gregory grammar school with Mother Dolores Hart and was fortunate to be a friend of hers. Her real name was Dolores Hicks. I use to walk her from school to her home. It was a two flat and she lived their with her grandparents. I really liked her as a girlfriend, however, she never even gave me the time of day. My wife, Yasmin, and I have communicated with Mother Dolores Hart. Once she asked me to take pictures of the two flat she lived in and send them to her. I remember she always wanted two things. One to become a movie actress and second a nun. She accomplished both with flying colors. What a person!
