I applaud this. I know that the presence of sisters with habits in hospitals bring a calming and soothing effect to patients.

The article doesn’t really say what the title is. The article only talks about one young nun in Wisconsin, not whether this is a trend nationwide.

The following article evidences that the desire of younger religious to wear a habit is a trend, and perhaps is more what you are looking for.

This shows that modernish clergy and religous is on the decline I hope. I believe the young people today (between 18-35) are not messing around and want “feel good” theology like the generation before them. We want the Truth and the traditions that made the church great.

Lots of people this age are in love with the Latin Mass for instance which I hope is a great sign for its expansion in the future. Young Priests and seminarians also like to wear the black robes with their clerics rather than pants, which if I was a priest I would wear that.
