Sure, we all know how important it is for the Sisters * to not act like consecrated religious if they are to catch the eye of the Kidney Stones in the Body of Christ (WYD participants)
but, they have much to learn from our protestant friends.
*What is a Religious Sister?
A woman religious is a member of a religious congregation who shares in a particular apostolate. After a period of promising simple vows, the sister makes perpetual simple vows for life. These vows are poverty, chastity and obedience. Most of the institutes whose members are called Sisters were established since the nineteenth century. Congregations of sisters typically live and are active in the world. They serve in a variety of active ministries reaching out into the world to assist the Church in a variety of areas: health, schools, parishes, etc.
What is the difference between a Religious Sister and a Religious Nun?
While the titles are often used interchangeably there is a difference. Nuns take solemn vows of poverty, chastity and obedience and live a contemplative lifestyle most often in a cloistered environment. They live a life of silence and prayer.
