So it isn't that she disparages Rita's dream, but that she finds it [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids impractical]] and [[ThisIsReality unrealistic]] and is afraid pursuing it could cost her, the same as happened to him.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Vince's hitmen Joey and Willy are very reluctant about killing a nun, which is why even if it's someone they spare Doloris in know dressed as a nun. Just the end.fact that she may have found God in her time at the convent is enough to make them uncomfortable and they even go along with her when she starts praying.

* HeyLetsPutOnAShow: While the choir competition in the sequel isn't created or put on by Deloris and the other nuns, it otherwise fulfills this trope, seeing as it a) gives the students confidence in themselves b) proves the school is and can be successful again and c) convinces the archdiocese [[SavingTheOrphanage not to close it]].

* SaveOurStudents: The sequel, where Whoopi's nun friends ask her to help turn around the choir of the Catholic school she attended as a child. Also overlaps with SavingTheOrphanage, since thanks to the greedy superintendent, if Deloris can't turn the problem class around, the archdiocese is going to close the whole school and have it torn down to make, yes, a parking lot.

* EducationMama: [[spoiler: Initially,]] Rita's mom does not bless her choir participation. It's made quite clear, albeit obliquely, that the reason she disapproves of her daughter's desire to sing and instead tries to force her to focus only on education is not a general "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" or "you have to have better opportunities and do better than I did" mentality, but because her husband tried the same path, failed utterly, and left the family destitute. So it isn't that she disparages Rita's dream, but that she finds it [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids impractical]] and [[ThisIsReality unrealistic]] and is afraid pursuing it could cost her, the same as happened to her.

** Notable for having a particularly weak and vague motivation, where all we get is that it has something to do with Rita's father.[[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick "You're not in there believing in yourself, are you?"]]you?"]] Although see above: while vague, it isn't hard to read between the lines and guess that Rita's father tried pursuing his musical dreams, failed, and it cost him and Mrs. Watson enough to make her fear her daughter following the same path and failing too. So, less "don't believe in yourself" as "believing in yourself isn't enough in the real world".
