About 20 years ago, I drove a retired priest and an older friend, now both deceased, up from Louisville to visit the Sisters of St. Joseph the Worker in Walton, Ky. The priest was a friend of the Mother Superior. Great Order.

I’ve met Sisters of St. Joseph the Worker here. Very pleasant women with a valuable mission.

(My childhood was also filled with nuns but my memories were in sharp contrast with hers ;-) Those memories didn't have anything to do with a ruler, eh?
Most of the nuns I knew as a kid in grade scjhool were most formidable!

I don’t think they are nuns....but rather, sisters. ;-)
Note from the article: The Sisterhood: Becoming Nuns (OK, theyre actually discerning becoming religious sisters, but thats apparently too fine a distinction for secular television)

You want to feel formidable?
If it's not already in your personal library, I strongly encourage you to add this book to your Christmas wish list.

Thanks, NYer. It looks great. :)
Nope. No rulers.

Good book.
What's really interesting about it is that -- although I believe that every one of the authors has left the Faith -- the truth keeps shining through the over-the-top humor.

I grew up Presbyterian. Want to hear some horror stories about predestination?
