I would love to understand more clearly what wire wrapper is trying to express. Thanks so much. I am pleased with the film. One wish is that sexuality not be understood as being of a higher order for the monastics than for those called to marriage but rather an "other" call and complimentary. After all making love truly makes love and marriage between man and woman is also a part of a third emerging lay priesthood. Suggest that producers mention as a post script that Don Robinson recently died.

I thought this was a very well done documentary. I was in my early teens when Elvis was starting to become popular in the mid 1950's. I was a fan of him and his music then, and I have continued to be a fan of his to this day. I am very impressed with Mother Prioress Dolores
Hart and her story presented in this documentary. I've heard that this documentary was nominated for an Academy Award, and I'm sorry it didn't win the award. Had it won, I suspect it would have been seen by many more people. That's too bad, because there are some beautiful stories that deserve to be seen and reflected upon by a wider audience. I don't think the HBO documentary mentioned it, but I believe the Abbey of Regina Laudis (at 273 Flanders Road, Bethlehem, CT 07651) still has a significant building project in the works. I made a donation to that project in April, 2012, and received a nice "thank you" note from the abbey. I'm sure you would, too.

I remember her so well and she was a beautiful person and competent actress. Her love story is inspiring, not only her love for God, but also her long term relationship with her fiance, who never married and continues to visit her in the abbey. After all these years their relationship is still a strong love just as her love for God allowed her to give up so much. Delores Hart is humbling. I need to lead a more spiritual life myself...we all need to give a stronger love to God as too many sorrowful tragedies are occurring in the world and God is trying to wake us up.
