Dismissed Catholic sister shares qualities she’s looking for in a man: “Love deeply”

By Red­WhiteProud Edi­to­r­i­al Team

After stir­ring con­ver­sa­tions across social media with her out­spo­ken posts about the Church, for­mer Catholic sis­ter Shako Annasta­cia is once again in the spot­light — this time, for mat­ters of the heart.

The ex-nun, known for her fear­less crit­i­cism of cer­tain priests’ treat­ment of sis­ters, has now revealed that she’s ready to love again and isn’t afraid to say exact­ly what kind of man she’s look­ing for.

“I Want a Partner With the Heart of Christ”

In a recent Face­book post that’s since gone viral, Annasta­cia opened up about her vision of a true part­ner — not through wealth or looks, but through faith and char­ac­ter.

“I’m look­ing for some­one with the heart of Christ — patient, kind, and true,” she wrote.
“I want a part­ner who can pray loud­er than they argue, who can turn water into wis­dom, not just words into noise.”

She went on to describe a man who can “love with­out proof, for­give with­out con­di­tions, and serve qui­et­ly with­out seek­ing applause.”

Her mes­sage res­onat­ed with many fol­low­ers, par­tic­u­lar­ly those who admired her vul­ner­a­bil­i­ty and courage to start anew after leav­ing reli­gious life.

Finding Peace After Controversy

Annastacia’s name first made head­lines after she was report­ed­ly dis­missed from her con­vent for crit­i­ciz­ing priests who, she claimed, mis­treat­ed or objec­ti­fied sis­ters.
While the Church nev­er pub­licly con­firmed the rea­son for her dis­missal, her out­spo­ken posts gained wide atten­tion and mixed reac­tions.

Now, months lat­er, her tone has shift­ed from con­fronta­tion to con­tem­pla­tion — from call­ing out injus­tice to call­ing in love.

“Some­one who won’t dis­ap­pear when things get tough,” she added.
“Who can stay, pray, and grow through every sea­son. They should be able to car­ry a cross, not just car­ry a phone.”

“Love Deeply, Speak Gently, Forgive Quickly”

For Annasta­cia, love isn’t about per­fec­tion, but grace. Her ide­al man, she says, should “love deeply, speak gen­tly, and for­give quick­ly.”

She even left a play­ful note for inter­est­ed suit­ors:

“If I’m to be a bride or groom, I don’t need a boss. I need a part­ner with a Christ-like heart, steady in faith, rich in love, and root­ed in peace.”

Fans React: “Where Can We Apply?”

As expect­ed, her post drew hun­dreds of com­ments from fol­low­ers — some seri­ous, oth­ers teas­ing.

George Ibi­la Igyu Haa­ga wrote:

“I can’t even date an ex-rev­erend sis­ter, let alone mar­ry her. I’m bad­ly in need of a bad­die.”

Eddy Men­sah joked:

“My only prob­lem is you’re a Chelsea fan and I’m an Arse­nal fan.”

Oth­ers, how­ev­er, praised her sin­cer­i­ty.
Onyemeluk­we Uchechuk­wu com­ment­ed:

“What­ev­er you want in mar­riage begins with you.”

A New Chapter of Faith and Freedom

Annastacia’s sto­ry reflects a rare blend of faith, courage, and hon­esty. Her deci­sion to speak open­ly about love after reli­gious life has made her a sym­bol of spir­i­tu­al evo­lu­tion — some­one unafraid to rede­fine devo­tion on her own terms.

While the world debates whether she’s right or wrong, Shako Annasta­cia seems unboth­ered — she’s already look­ing for­ward, trust­ing that the right man will arrive in God’s time.

“Love deeply,” she says. “Because if it isn’t root­ed in Christ, it won’t last.”
