Where did all the good nuns go?

Ignorance is bliss ... don't ask!

I can tell you that some of these religious orders border on the heretical. Others, like Mother Angelica's order - The Carmelites - are beginning to pick up steam and grow again. It's all cyclical. Keep in mind that most catholics no longer produce large families. Factor in the messages driven home to young women by the feminists and the government schools, that they are 'equal' to men and should compete on a level plane. /sigh/

We're on a rocky portion of the road right now but up ahead, the surface has been repaved. ;-D

Hi, NYer. I think Mother A's nuns are Franciscans. I know they are Poor Clares.
