While the remarks about current nuns habits are true, it should help to know that the trend is reversing. There are many new orders now that attract many young women who have a vocation to the religious life and sure enough, they are all orders who wear full habits! (I mean, if you're going to give your life as a witness to Love, why not let the whole world know it?!)

I know some of these young ladies and they are vibrant, beautiful, very intelligent and selfless.

Not sure if the comments take links, so I'll only link one or two and list the rest. My friends:

These ladies live mostly in the Bronx and are often seen zipping around in their favorite mode of transportation: roller blades!

But how can this be? Aren't most of these people young enough to say they lived with a good part of their lives using the internet? Even I, who has only had about one-fifth of their life with a computer know that there are websites and youtube clips on everything from how to fold sheets, how to wash clothes, how to scramble eggs, how to do taxes, and yep, how to use a credit or debit card. All the basics are there.

You just linked to First Things! Everyone's IQ just went up a few points...ahhh!
