De-stubbed

This article appears to be of an appropriate length for the subject matter under discussion. It is also appropriately categorized and wikified.

By nature, stubbing and tagging articles devalues them, giving them an aura of unreliability and making them seem less credible. As part of my personal campaign to free up articles that have been stubbed and tagged without cause, this article has been disenstubified.

If any editor disagrees, and would rather re-stub it than improve it by adding actual content, please discuss here. The Editrix 18:21, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the article could stand with a formal reference, and maybe a few picutres of various habits. Also, would I be justified in thinking that the term applys to Orthodox and maybe Anglicans as well? Badbilltucker 20:31, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nun's Habit

It should be noted that the so-called traditional nun's habit described herein is not "the traditional nun's habit;" rather, it is the *stereotypical* nun's habit of the Roman Catholic Carmelite order, known for its work in elementary education. Films, particularly of the early 20th Century (e.g., The Bells of Saint Mary's) showed nuns in the habit of the order that sponsored the school shown. Because these were the habits seen by the masses, they then became the stereotype. In Roman Catholicism, there has never been an all encompassing traditional habit except within an order, and even then, the Mother of a convent house might declare exceptions to the general Rule.

Please verify these facts before posting generalizations about a religion.
