...left you!” In Kingdom Come, such funny one-liners are often followed by even more amusing scenes. In one particularly memorable moment, Aunt Marguerite and her son Royce are traveling in a beat-up Volkswagen beetle on their way to Mama Slocumb’s (Whoopi Goldberg) house when they run out of gas. While waiting for Ray Bud to rescue them, they begin to listen to music. In accordance with his gangsta get-up, Royce tunes the radio to a rap radio station.

Whoopi Goldberg, Susan Sarandon, Sally Field and Audrey Hepburn have all played roles in habits, proving, in the process, that no one looks great in a wimple. But to actually know what God's call sounds like; how feminist nuns manage in the still patriarchal post-Vatican II church; or how liberating it is for some brides of Christ to be untrammeled by children, sex and romantic love--none...
