A Nun’s Life: A Blog About Being a Catholic Nun in Today’s World

Sister  Julie Vieira is funny, honest, informative and thought-provoking in her blog,  which could easily be renamed, “100 Things You’ve Always Wanted to Ask a Nun  But Were Afraid to Ask.” Many readers might be surprised to learn that a “nun’s  life” is more than praying, being modest and disciplining grade-school children  (see her posts that  address nun stereotypes). And even more readers will be surprised to read  her blog posts about sexuality and “nuns who rock.” In  many ways, Sister Julie is much like us: She can’t operate without her morning  coffee, she has a pet cat, she likes to surf the Web (she recently gave in to Twitter) and she’s got a full-time job. She’s also got  a lot of online friends.
