Brides of Christ

Diane, a young woman growing up in mid-1960s Australia, walks away from her fiancé to join a convent after being sure she has a calling to the faith. The Catholic Church and its followers are struggling with huge changes. The Pope has died, there is war in Vietnam and mandatory conscription, there is the Vatican controversy on abortion and contraception, and the face of the Church as a whole is changing. In this 6-part story, Diane faces her own demons and must finally decide whether she can teach what the Church preaches, or if reconciling all of the contradictions of the faith and upholding her vow of obedience are simply impossible for her.
