Title: SSPV nuns in Amtrak ad
Post by: s2srea on October 24, 2013, 01:54:08 PM

Forgive me if this was posted elsewhere, but I found this pretty funny.

Sedevacantist nuns in Amtrak ad (http://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2013/10/sspv-nuns-in-amtrak-ad.html)

We wonder if Amtrak knows the four women religious in its new advertisement -- Sister Mary Xavier Selway, Sister Mary Raphael, Sister Mary Jognes and Sister Antoinette Marie -- are members of The Daughters of Mary Mother of Our Savior.

The Daughters of Mary are the women religious of a sedevacantist society.  The ad is currently published in major newspapers, such as page A7 of today's Washington Post.

We're not sedevacantists (as it is an untenable position), but we can't blame Amtrak for recognizing long habits, full veils and -- yes -- wimples are identified with a Roman Catholic sister, not a 70-year-old lady wearing a lapel pin on the sportsjacket of a pants suit.

It is my hope that these nuns of the Daughters of Mary Mother of Our Savior were paid to pose for that ad.  I love their CD's and I use daily their prayer books.

First time I've seen an ad that portrayed actual sisters and not actresses.

Reminds me of my Catholic School Days in the way back machine.

Nuns after taking their final vows in 1944 Chicago.
