Nun Reprimanded for Wild Dancing
'I Get Carried Away by the Enthusiasm of the Group'
BRUSSELS (Aug. 23) - A Belgian nun's acrobatic and indecorous dancing with a missionary during the Catholic World Youth Day in Germany over the weekend earned her a reprimand from her mother superior, a Belgian paper said Tuesday.

Daily Het Laatste Nieuws showed pictures of a dancing Johanne Vertommen being held up in the air by the missionary, and then clinging to him with her legs wrapped around his body.

''I wouldn't do this at home but at such occasions I get carried away by the enthusiasm of the group,'' the 29-year-old told the paper later.

''My mother superior raised the issue today: she thinks I should watch out a bit and bear in mind that I represent our community,'' Vertommen said.

Pope Benedict attended the celebration at the Marienfeld, outside Cologne, in the presence of some 700,000 people.
