The hair is actually a wig. Reverend Mother Dolores had her longer hair trimmed for her role in the following year's "Lisa," 1962. She still had the longer hair in 1961's comedy, "Sail a Crooked Ship," her follow-up to "Francis of Assisi."
Mother Dolores is the the only nun to be a voting member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. As well she is the prioress of the Abbey of Regina Laudis, a Benedictine monastic community in Bethlehem, Connecticut,
I read her book. It talks about how she spends her days watching TV, working with the theater and singlehandedly doing all the jobs necessary. No mention of prayers or charitable acts, and I really got tired reading about "I did this", "I got this because of my connections" and how the nuns let her receive and answer fan mail after she joined the order.
Everything men and women do in religious life serves a purpose, symbolically or otherwise. In the movie, no one was forcing her to become a nun. In fact she had to literally run away from home to become one. If a man or woman cannot accept all the big and little sacrifices and disciplines a religious life requires , its a very good sign that he/she was NOT meant for religious life.It also requires many years to become a nun, priest , brother,or monk.Plenty of time to figure out whether one has made the right choice. Its not for everybody- nor was it ever meant to be.
@catholicpriest1 No, not a mistake. Clare joined a different order first. The Poor Clares did not yet exist. St. Clare founded them. The Poor Clares are named after her.
"You have no right in here; this is the house of God". That is one of the worst lines ever written for a religiously-themed movie. The house of God is open to ALL and anyone has the right to be inside. Some of us even remember a day in the USA when three priests (the older, about to retire one; the mid-life one; the young one) served a parish along with a deacon and a seminarian. Churches were open 24-7-365 for prayer and meditation. A priest was available to hear confessions when a penitent walked into the sanctuary, not on a scheduled day for a few hours.
You missed the significance of the moment. Clare was entering a cloistered monastic community which was off limits to anyone except monks and nuns. The ceremony took place with in the chapel of the monastic community. Obviously the parish church is open to everyone, but not the chapel of a cloistered monastic community.
I think they would still cut it a little only as a symbolic act. Anyways it was highly unlikely for a woman to have that short hair that can't be cut at those times. Women were expected to have long hair. Of course some desease or anything like malnutrition could get a woman to have short or little hair but I suppose there is always something to cut! It is like in orthodox baptism. The priest is to cut a small part of the baby's hair. Of course not all babies have hair but there is always at least a little bit to cut
It’s a clip from a 1960 film called “Francis of Assisi,” and this video depicts Saint Clare of Assisi making vows to become the first female follower of Saint Francis, today known as a Poor Clare Nun.
Dolores Hart was naturally beautiful. Have you seen photos of her as a young nun (yes, she became a nun in real life)? She has no make up on in those photos but looks more beautiful than in this movie scene .
Your hair was considered to be your crowning glory and there is glory except our Lord God himself,that's why women cover their head when entering God's house. a Holy place..This is what I was told as a very young child ..
@catholicpriest1 I think your right....probaby a Benedictine community. But the habit in the movie looks like the Poor Clare habit....maybe a mistake on the movie makers part.
Actually, the Benedictine part is correct. When Saint Clare of Assisi decided to become the first female follower of Saint Francis, Francis and his brothers had nowhere to house her at first....they were still in the process of building the cloister at San Damiano....so they decided to temporarily put Clare in a nearby community of Benedictine Nuns until Clare and her sisters could move into San Damiano and start their own order.
She is being received into the Franciscan community as the first female follower of Saint Francis, but the cloister of San Damiano was still under construction so Francis decided to temporarily place Clare and the sisters who followed her with a local community of Benedictine nuns until Clare and her “Poor Ladies” (the term “Poor Clare” wasn’t used until at least a century later) could move into their own cloister at San Damiano. I’m kind of a Saint Clare expert.
Because Roman Catholicism is A roman religion not a Christian religion.. They bide by their own teachings and doctrines and traditions and rules and mix it with scripture to make it look as though they have a form of Godly devotion..
Because...it is Vaungliry and gas no purpose to this life she had chosen to follow. One gives up not ionly the riches of the purse and chattel, one gives up that which the eye, and he Heart find precious of the Profane world, achknikig8nt that it to 7svonk6 Vainglory, and does not serve God, only humankind ...traditional removal id hair is also part of many Spiritual practices if past and present. In fact the term"Shrive as in, "he has been Shriven his sins " refered ti the same practice if franusisn monks .o7 know to hat funny bald scalp and fringe you see monks wear in the middle ages as nd in. That was part of taking the vows. It was a representative act of Spiritual cleansing and devotion to Sacred Calling.
@@ishenicole9987 yes quite....so... Let me guess you believe all of that is vanity as well. You believe that you are somehow as most likely a calvinist divorced from the Catholic Church like you didn't come from the same beginnings that you were just not an offset of the Catholic church that you're quitting over variant and beliefs that among even the covenants.. yes cuz it can only be one true babe but none of you can decide what bad is amongst you you all claim to be the one and the rest are all go to the other place.. there's a reason why I'm an apostate people like you.. and again you take the vows you go begging on the streets for your bread believe me only in what the Lord will bring you and your prayers to him you choose to own nothing and vowed to do so you keep yourself from all interactions of family and love saving it just for your one God you agree to be subservient to all even the lay people of the church to serve the one God in his place and his representative on Earth or emulation at least.. yes let me see you do that. And then we can talk about godly actions shall we?you will say is my faith you are saved will you not? They have the same faith in the same Christ so therefore you're just wanting to be better then.. which is about your own pride in arrogance not theirs.. so does you who puts on me act of being saintly and godly when you serve the world more than you serve your one God how does that make you feel Mister Ms reservative pronoun here I really don't care about your gender I'm more interested in the quality of your soul and eyes and prostate found it lacking that must piss you off Indian and is your one God that judges at the end and separates the sheep from the goats does he not not you not your leaders not your belief in what that book says so I'd be very very careful about saying what is God's name was not because you don't have the right or the power to do so getting above your station is also blasphemous by the way.
Clearly this was typecasting at its worst. The real life Clare was probably a brunette while the movie director has obviously cast a blonde in the role by mistake altogether.
@IehoshuaIacobus But the BIBLE says NOT to. why would God go against his own word?? The word says a women should not Pray (& they do a lot of praying in the convent) with her head uncovered. (cut, trimmed, shaven) so what happens now??
Thinking God had nothing to do with women going bald or whatever to dedicate themselves to him, this ritual is man made and has zero bearing on religious conviction, rather a way to humiliate and degrade.
I agree completley with you. God made us all indivduals. Some of these rules are man-made and should be dispensed with. Vatican II said religious life should be modernized. No one should be treated this way. This is a humiliation.
Gary L if I was a jesus and my hair cutted, I dont introdused this fucking rule, this bad rule - cut hair! Other people is not most suffer if Jesus had suffer! Understood!? And I atheist! Because of Jesus's suffering and humiliation of all good people is not got be!!
You would not call it that if you understand the meaning. When a young girl enters the Convent she does so to give herself to Christ in a special way. To be His Bride! A woman's greatest glory and beauty is her hair. To cut it is to show complete renouncement of oneself. It is beautiful if thought of like that. I am planing to enter the Convent myself soon,and though I love my long hair I will gladly sacrifice it for Jesus.
@@rac717 When you enter the Convent you give up completely the things of the world. To be able to offer your hair to God by having it chopped short is beautiful.
Yahawah 's children r not to cut their hair the Nazarene Jesus Christ did not cut his hair why would anyone will follow a ritual that doesn't please Yahawah.
It depends the denominations of Christianity or any other religions, what rules they must abide to excel. It's why I don't practice Christianity or any other practices as there's too many sects of each kind to really know what or where the ultimate truth is.
@@shaymary5247 There are so many sects because millions of these sects are demoninations of Catholicism... Catholicism is specifically a Roman religion not a Christian religion..

Shay Mary ...I think the key is to follow Christ & His Word. The Bible is the only Truth ever written, so maybe find a church that closely aligns with the Word of God. Of course it will be filled with sinners, but Christ died for His church, warts & all.
Except she could not do this. Without her fathers concent. At this time in history she was her father's property. And could not do this of her own acornd.
I know it does seem too extreme to me to. This is a manmade rule. Jesus accepts you as you are. He never required anyone to dress or look a certain way. .
As far as I know,,Jesus DID require modesty of dress and looks and demeanor, so in a way, altho I do agree that cutting the hair in that haphazard, fashion with no neatness etc at all IS rather over the top. There IS a spiritual meaning behind it.
And yet it is God's Word that says a woman's long hair has been given as a glory unto her. The Catholic Church has nothing to do with Yahweh or His commandments.

If it’s a wig, it’s a Lulu.
She won't have any bad hair days.
One could say that this movie was prophetic, Mother superior, a friend of Elvis Presley, now giving her life to God. How incredible!
Mother Dolores is the the only nun to be a voting member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. As well she is the prioress of the Abbey of Regina Laudis, a Benedictine monastic community in Bethlehem, Connecticut,
She is still there. Apparently, no regrets at age 79!
I read her book. It talks about how she spends her days watching TV, working with the theater and singlehandedly doing all the jobs necessary. No mention of prayers or charitable acts, and I really got tired reading about "I did this", "I got this because of my connections" and how the nuns let her receive and answer fan mail after she joined the order.
It took courage to help her community and sacrifice so much in the process.
That’s just for a movie

You give up all worldly things to be a nun. Vanity is one of them. You focus on the spiritual not the physical.
I was watching a twerking video. WHY IS THIS IS MY RECOMMENDS??!!!
LMAO
you have sinned, and now you must cut off all thy hair.
is this st. Clare?
Sounds fun, can I do it?
With this one she wanted to use her voice with prayer. But with Apollo he didn't like it not one bit.

All that beautiful long hair cut off why .the beauty and power of a person
@tsalas41 Precisely because it is her glory, she is laying everything aside bad AND good so that the Lord alone will be her lot.

Why would you feel sorry for her?. She has been happy as nun probably since before you were born. AND she once dated ELVIS!
Mother Prioress is happy and fufilled.Benedictines usually are.
She should have wedded “WHERE THE BOYS ARE” co-star George Hamilton who by the way is a distant cousin of mine.

Discussing !!!!! Now and in the future!!!
I love God, but my family needs me, I could not do what she could, or any others who do this.

your cuting your hair off for nothing , just saying

Who created this? Not God.
What is the point of this ? I thought a woman's hair was her crowning glory .
Symbolic of sacriface, removing pride, vanity, consider modesty, humility (not to be mistaken for humiliation).
It is. That's why they sacrifice it to become a celibate nun for the rest of their lives.
Renounce the world and its vanities the church is full of wealth and vanities
