#Superbowlintheconvent AKA Nuns Being Awesome

Out of all of my tweets during the Super Bowl last night, this tweet had the most likes and retweets. This is about as close as I’ll get to going viral.

Side note: The nuns on Twitter are becoming the highlight of my feed. #superbowlintheconvent #medianuns pic.twitter.com/504XCHub2S

For those of you hung over or were too busy paying attention to the game to check your Twitter feed, ChurchPop made an article highlighting the nuns who tweeted throughout the game. I’m honestly surprised that #SuperbowlintheConvent didn’t end up trending because LOTS of people were following that particular hashtag.

I stumbled onto this hashtag when I saw what is currently my favorite Super Bowl ad (apologies to Avengers and Han Solo)

Gotta love that interfaith! Pope Francis would totally love this. And note that nuns were part of this ad, too.

I already follow a lot of nuns on Twitter, so I just checked one and found the hashtag. It quickly became the best thing ever, topping the Justin Timberlake halftime show.

Highlights that ChurchPop didn’t include:

I found this on my door when I came home today. I think it speaks for itself. #SuperbowlintheConvent #FlyEaglesFly pic.twitter.com/iEdlDcmZli

Not this year because, according to the superior, we need to finish the wine first. 😢😢😭#PovertyComesInManyForms #SuperBowlintheConvent https://t.co/Nzk0h9Lac7

I need to go to bed, but the game is so close, but its only 8 mins on the clock, but in real life that's like 30 mins, at least. #superbowlintheconvent pic.twitter.com/vzYJFo6BgX

RT if you think networks should fire all their commentators and replace them with nuns

I love being Catholic. That is all. Please pray for all the nuns who were watching the game from beginning to end because contrary to what that Mucinex commercial said, some people will actually show up for work today.
