Dear Nishi,

you are from India ( i doubt that )?? otherwise you wouldn't have asked this question.. have you seen nuns from kerala, mumbai and other parts of India ?? They wear sarees.. that explains that christainity does not make it compulsory for wearing headscarves. Also you asked about celibacy and other relationships which a nun has restrictions. Have you heard about the vatican ordering a beheading of a nun who chooses to leave the ministry or chooses to marry or pursue a " live in" relationship ?? i guess not so that answers your question on compulsion of faith in christianity..

I hope you will make statements after you look around you..

Thanks and regards,

Proud Indian
