Sister Cristina Scuccia, who became famous for her singing competition, left the church

WALL – Cristina Scuccia, who became famous around the world with her performance in the ‘O Ses Italy’ competition and is known as the ‘crazy nun’, announced that she left the church. “Confused,” a church source claimed.

According to Artı Gerçek, Scuccia, who appeared on Italian television with her head uncovered, with a piercing in her nose and a red trouser suit, said, “I preferred to listen to my heart without thinking about what people would say about me.”

Cristina Scuccia entered the ‘That Voice Italy’ contest in 2014, when she was 26 years old. The jury members were fascinated by the performance of the contestant’s hit song ‘No One’ by Alicia Keys, which they listened to with their backs turned, and when they turned their backs, they were astonished to see a nun in religious clothes. “I couldn’t speak for a few minutes,” said one juror at the time. Scuccia’s performance, a nun at a convent in Milan, was watched millions of times on the Internet.

HE GIFTED THE ALBUM TO PAPA

Winning the competition, Scuccia later released an album that included a version of Madonna’s song ‘Like a Virgin’, and even gifted the album to Pope Francis. Scuccia’s talent was praised even by Catholic cardinals.

‘CHANGE IS A SIGNAL OF EVOLUTION’

In this process, Scuccia’s announcement that she left the church as a ‘crazy nun’ created the agenda in Italy. Scuccia said she quit her job as a nun on the talk show Verissimo and now works as a waitress in Spain. Scuccia asked, “Is there a right or a wrong?” she asked.

‘I GOT A PSYCHOLOGIST HELP’

Scuccia, who is 34 years old today, explained that she received the help of a psychologist in her decision to leave the nunnery, that this decision did not mean that she gave up her religious belief and that she still wants to pursue a music career. “I preferred to listen to my heart without thinking about what people would say about me,” he said.

CHURCH SOURCE SAID ‘Confused’

Speaking to The Guardian, a church source argued that the former nun was “confused” because she was so famous and also received some criticism. The source claimed, “It was her own decision to leave. Maybe you lose your compass a bit when you appear on TV so much. She was young and under a lot of pressure.” (NEWS CENTER)
