Sorry to say when women's lib got into the convents children suffered. I was lucky to be reared by the nuns from 1937 to 1948.. We learned our catechism, kneeling, genuflection, sacramentals and sacraments. We were tuned into the famous clicker that told when to stand, sit, kneel and genuflect. There was no noise as today.

Pray for the priests, nuns and the Church.

Absolutely. They may not have gotten credit for it, but before all the women's lib stuff, the nuns ran hospitals, schools, etc. They were much farther ahead then. And they gave it all up.

The one consolation is that the orders that went wacky are dying out. It's the cloistered and far more conservative orders that are getting the vocations.
