What do the Catholic Nun's Robe Colors Symbolize?
I noticed that nuns in catholic churches have different color robes and scarfs. Does anyone know what the color combinations and patterns symbolize? Why do some nuns onkly have white robes, others have blackand white robes, and some have only scarfs. Others have several other clothing accessories added. Does all of this have meaning or are they just wearing what they are choosing to wear that day? Thank you.

There is a new carbon fiber material for making robes for nuns.
These new habits are hard to break.

Marcus Aurelius | Jan 31, 2010

I was raised catholic, and I was taught by the Vincentian Sisters of Charity in elementary school. I don’t recall any reference to this subject, but I suspect that it’s a somewhat different explanation for each order.

No, they aren’t allowed to choose whatever they feel like wearing that day. They all have a prescribed "uniform" from which they aren’t allowed to vary.

Nuns are people. They can speak. The next time you see a flock of them out in public, ask one of them what the colors mean. I suspect that they’d probably be happy to explain it all to you, especially if you’re a young woman who has the look of a potential recruit.
Vincent | Jan 31, 2010

Robe? Do you mean habit?
These are different orders, probably. White - Dominicans. Black - Benedictines.
ella | Jan 31, 2010

Their order - the colors are a sort of uniform

Funny - but this is actually a pretty good place to see different habits (that’s what they call their uniform) and to which monastic order they belong

A general description
http://www.medieval-life-and-times.info/ medieval-clothing/medieval-nuns-clothing .htm

Jim, http://www.bible-reviews.com

In the Catholic Church, a nun is a female who has taken solemn vows (the male equivalent is often called a "monk", although the positions actually entail very different religious origins and constitute very different duties within the church). Nuns are cloistered to the degree established by the rule of the religious institution they enter.

In the Roman Catholic tradition, there are a number of different orders of nuns each with its own charism or special character.

In general, when a woman enters a convent she first undergoes an initial period of testing the life, known as postulancy, for a period of six months to a year. If she, and the order, determine that she may have a vocation to the life, she receives the habit of the order (usually with some modification to distinguish her from professed nuns) and undertakes the novitiate, a period (that lasts one to two years) of living the life of a nun without yet taking vows. Upon completion of this period she may take her initial, temporary vows. Temporary vows last one to three years, typically, and will be professed for not less than three years and not more than six. Finally, she will petition to make her "perpetual profession", taking permanent, solemn vows.

In the various branches of the Benedictine tradition (Benedictines, Cistercians, Camaldolese, and Trappists among others) nuns take vows of stability (that is, to remain a member of a single monastic community), obedience (to an abbess or prioress), and "conversion of life" (which includes the ideas of poverty and chastity). The "Poor Clares" (a Franciscan order) and those Dominican nuns who live a cloistered life take the three-fold vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. Most orders of nuns not listed here follow one of these two patterns, with some orders taking an additional vow related to the specific work or character of their order (for example, to undertake a certain style of devotion, praying for a specific intention or purpose).

Cloistered nuns (Carmelites, for example) observe "papal enclosure" rules and their monasteries typically have walls and grilles separating the nuns from the outside world. The nuns rarely leave (except for medical necessity, or occasionally for purposes related to their contemplative life) though they may have visitors in specially built parlors that allow them to meet with outsiders. They are usually self-sufficient, earning money by selling jams or candies or baked goods by mail order, or by making liturgical items (vestments, candles, bread for Holy Communion). They sometimes undertake contemplative ministries

How can parents tell if their kids are experimenting with drugs and alcohol?
Just read a study that kids that learn from their parents are 50% less likely to get tied up in problems like these. What can you do as parents to help keep kids out of this stuff? What can parents who have kids with these problems do to help their kids? Just wanted to post this question for parents to reference and because it seems to be a growing problem, so anything you have to say would be appreciated.
I don’t have a kid…?

my dad went in to a.a. when i was 7 or 8 and he always told us about his drinking and drugging experiences so i never had the desire to do it. i’m 28 now and although i did hang out and drink occasionally when i was younger, i never had the desire to drink or drug because i knew the far extreme it could lead to. for people that don’t want their kids to drink and get into drugs i say stop acting like drugs and alcohol don’t exist. tell them the horrifying stories you know of people got mangled in dui accidents and stories of girls getting date raped. i know its extreme but we need to start letting kids know early on that with drugs and alcohol can come extreme results. and don’t wait until the kids are 15 and 16. start talking to them when they hit 10 or 11 and start to get more freedom with their friends. parents these days are too reactive and not proactive enough.

if the kids are bad
Karen J | May 12, 2008

Listen.
If you find that they are doing drugs, don’t freak out at them take a deep breath then talk to them. Teenagers will be teenagers.

if they are doing drugs, and it is serious get them help.

but the best thing i think you can do is listen. don’t let them know you want to know about drugs just tell them "listen, honey if you ever need a ride absolutely no questions asked.. then i’ll pick u up i’d rather be safe then sorry, please call me or come to me for anything"

if she/hes drinking or doing drugs she’ll know what you mean. other then that, unless your really close to your child you won’t know that they do drugs unless they come home smelling like booze, or have their puipals dialated.
Gina C | May 12, 2008

i think it depends really on the age if they are in high school they are most likely to take drugs and such. what you can do is just make sure all the parties and get togethers you child goes to have a parent there. i dont want to tell you how to raise your kid so im gonna leave it at that

Right wing Christians ALL hypocites?
Are all right wing Christians as hypocritical as Wendy Wright of "Concerned Women for America"??? In a recent report she challenges Rick Warren (megachurch pastor) to preach the "biblical truth of marriage". Does she mean the truth that Abraham, while MARRIED to Sara pimps her off to Pharaoh as his sister??? And ended up screwing his wife’s maid???
Or the polygamous arrangements of ALL of the biblical patriarchs and kings…who had hundreds of "wives’ and concubines.
Or those god fearing ‘Israelite’ heros who married PAGAN wives and worshiped their gods….try Solomon, or David, or any king of Israel.

Or maybe she was referring to MODERN right wing Christians idea of the ’sanctity’ of marriage…like the divorced Christian president Ronald Reagan, or the Christian speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, who served his dying wife with divorce papers IN THE HOSPITAL. Or that devout Christian evangelical Jimmy Swaggart who thought so much of his marriage vows that he used offerings from his gullible followers to hire WHORES. Or Ted Haggard, megachurch hypocrite, who found his marriage vows so binding that he hired MALE WHORES.

Just what is this ‘biblical truth of marriage’ that Christian hypocrites go on and on and on and on about???
Tom baily:
Not only have I read the bible, over and over many times…but have made it the object of more than 40 years of intense study. Along with the history of the bible, of Christianity, of comparitive religon, theology and philosophy. When YOU have done the same, get back to me. LOL
C.
Jesus never gave us ANY church. He was an Orthodox Jews, who lived, preached and DIED an Orthodox Jew, reciting verses from the HEBREW bible.
Your church was given to you by Constantine, after the Mythmaker, Paul and his followers, turned the gentle Jesus of Nazareth, into the eternally vengeful "Christ" whose only original notion was to ‘invent’ a pit of fire to torture ETERNALLY, weak men and women for having committed FINITE ’sins’.
Jimmy:
Your garden of Eden, with one man and one woman, is a MYTH, stolen from the Sumerian and Babylonian religions that preceeded Judaism. What part of THAT do YOU not understand???
J.J. Bear:
Where did you ever come up with the ridiculous notion that sin cannot be passed from a mother to a child? Do you not believe your bible when it says that ‘every man born of woman is born from with the stain of Adam -SIN???
Why do you suppose the church had to come up with the ridiculous notions of a Virgin Birth, and an Immaculate Conception…it was the only way to get around the notion that Mary had to be ’sinless’ in order NOT to pass the sin of Adam on to her son. One myth used to support another myth. Try reading the web article "Thirteen Reasons Why the Doctrine of Original Sin is FALSE".
Max Marie:
Surely you jest: A god of LOVE who orders the wholesale slaughter of innocent women, children, infants, the unborn fetus, and even harmless dumb animals???? More akin to a totalitarian dictator for whom mass murder is nothing more than a whim which needs to be satisfied. Strange that your ‘holy’ books speaks more of KILLING than it does of Love. Maybe YOU need to reread your, allegedly, "holy" scripture and try to figure out how that litany of atrocities and obscenity could EVER be considered the inspiration of as sane god.

I doubt you could make so sweeping a claim about ALL of them, but the basic mentality is they do seem to replace the concept of Justice with a sycophantic relationship towards a 2000 year old book - and believe themselves serving a "higher power" when doing it.

It is a disturbing attribute many of them share

As far as their opinions on the "sanctity of marriage" goes, Jesus equated re-marriage with adultery in Luke 16:18, so until they start shunning the re-married from their pews (which is about half their congregations) because they are - in the narrow, Christian literal sense - "adulterers", it’s obvious their objections to gay marriage is simply an excuse to attack a minority because they are unable to come to terms with the deep, dark truthful mirror.

Wasnt it Abraham that had somethign like 600 wives, if that is the case we all need to join the FLDS Church.
It doesnt exist but . . . . . to answer your question . . . . . NO, not all right wing Christians are hypocrites, no more than saying all atheists are not hypocrites.
Broad sweeping generalizations are always bad.
Rango | Apr 22, 2009

Generally speaking all Right Wing Christians are incredible hypocrites.

That’s just how they roll, unfortunately, they aren’t reasoned enough to figure it out, which is why they keep on doing the immoral things they do.
Blessed Cheesemaker (cancelled) | Apr 22, 2009

Obviously, it’s based on their beliefs, on their ideals of what marriage should be.

Not based on the reckless behavior or mistakes or hypocrisy of others.

We really shouldn’t judge entire groups by the actions of their bad apples… that is the same thing as Christians judging all homosexuals by the few who have been child molesters or rapists.

No group would come off looking good if we were to do that. It’s intellectually dishonest.

Right wing Christian here.

Yes, we are all hypocrites, in that we try to live the perfect example of Tolerance, Peace and Love that Jesus is.

Unfortunately, we are still human and we still fail from time to time.

That is why Jesus gave us the Catholic Church and the Sacrament of Redemption.

I am not afraid of being a hypocrite, at lest I am aspiring to better my life, to live like Jesus wanted and to amend for my mistakes.

If I claimed to believe nothing, I could hate, generalize, steal, as well as all of the evil things you mentioned and not be a hypocrite.

I will take being called a hypocrite over living my old life any day of the week.

Peace be with you.

Well you ask,bible said God made Adam and Eve one man and one woman.now were these others you talk about mess up was going against what God said,what they did was SIN.God did not make two men or two women.1 man and 1 woman.That is why Jesus came into the world to die for sinners,For all have sin and come short of the glory of God.Now what part of that don’t you understand?
Jimmy | Apr 22, 2009

The reason Christ died on the cross was to pay the price for our sins - a price we can not even begin to pay.
When Adam & Eve sinned in the Garden the whole earth was cursed, along with this first couple. Sin was passed from Adam on to each of his children. Sin is not passed from a woman to her child. This is why Mary could be the mother of Christ, but Joseph could not be. The Holy Spirit begot Christ - I do not know how - but that is what the Bible teaches us.
All these details mean that every person born is a sinner - genetically.
The Patriarchs were not sinless and neither are we.
If you study how the twelve tribes of Israel came about you will find that Jacob sired them by four different women, yet God saw fit to use them for His purpose. He knows we sin, and since we all sin, who would He have used to bring about His purpose if not sinners?
J J Bear | Apr 22, 2009

Everyone is a hypocrite about something and if you say you’re not then you’re a liar as well.
mike3 | Apr 22, 2009

The definition changed over time and the old definition is no longer valid, even though the bible is the inerrant word of God and should be followed literally by the ultra conservative. Just my thought. It is a very interesting concept on how they determine which inerrant part they are to follow.

The Jesus story is a myth.

Priapus | Apr 22, 2009

Christian bashing. The last acceptable bigotry. If you made a similar comment about gay people or some ethnicity you’d be in a heap of hurt.

You say you’ve read it and studied it but clearly you don’t understand it. These references you make are not **instructions** they are **examples.** Examples of just how far man can fall and how the grace of God can lift us up again.

We all feel unworthy. Many of us wallow in our sins because - really - we’re horrible so why would God love us?

But the bible, the scriptures you comment on here, are examples of his love. Moses was a murderer. Chosen to lead God’s people to a better land. David was an adulterer. Chosen to keep God’s people in line.

Today people are still using "alternative means" to have children because God isn’t giving them any. And today there are still Christians fighting against such behavior.

So any information would be nice. I don’t want to running around in a shirt that I have no idea what it is.
