Nuns on the Run
Being a great fan of Black Naricissus, The Nun’s Story and The Sound of Music, I’ve always has a soft spot for nun news.
I came across this story in Real Business Online about nuns on the run in Greece. They had a knitting factory and an icon making operation on the side. They apparently who forged bank loan documents and are also in debt to the tune of half a million euros.
I can’t get this image out of my mind: Mother Superior in a darkened room, seated like a mafia don. “Speak softly love” is playing. When she speaks, she sounds remarkably like Marlon Brando….

lol! thanks for posting this. I love the image of those nuns running from the law. I’ll bet at least 1/2 of them were in their eighties.

Ho boy, I nearly choked when I saw the pic of the nun chomping on that cigar. I think, after this, I’m going to have a fetish for nun news too…

Gave me images of the Knights Templar and banking cartels.
I guess history does repeat itself.
