The Convent Programme

I watched the first programme about the Convent with great interest and a certain amount of trepidation..the series at the Monastery was so good I didn `t see how this one could beat it, but they do have an interesting mix of women.

The atheistic poet in a menage a trois struck me as quite selfish; it was so obvious when they interviewed her "permanant" partner that he was deeply unhappy on a fundamental level at having to share her with another man, and that he was afraid of losing her, although he said he never knew what was going to happen from one season to another, whether their relationship would survive. I felt so sorry for him.

When her interesting relationship was revealed at the convent, it was in the context of a teaching session on the Ten Commandments, when she was trying very hard to semantically justify her actions on the grounds that as she wasn`t married, she wasn`t being unfaithful .

Good try, but the good nun wasn`t having any of it ! She remarked quite acerbically that yes, it was perfectly possible to love two men, but that although one can`t control one`s emotions 100%, one can certainly control one`s actions, and that she didn`t *need* to be sleeping with both of them !

Interestingly, by the end of programme 1, she felt the need to go up to receive a blessing form the priest during the Mass along with the other women(none of whom were RC), which hse had steadfastly refused to do previously in the week. She may well turn out to be the one who benefits most from the 40 days at the Convent......

More later ! But if you cant` wait, browse the website !
Apparently, if you have broadband, you can watch the programme online......
