If they did, they wouldn't remain catholic.

These Sisters are so joyful in their vocations!! There was a cute video online earlier this week showing the nuns at the time of the election of Pope Francis. The news spread that there was ‘white smoke’, and the nuns came running from all over their convent to the TV room and watched the new Pope come out onto the balcony. They were so very excited, and they all bowed their heads in prayer for him. Then several of them ran and started ringing the bell of the convent.
