  1. What ever happened to fasting? I seem to remember something about seven deadly sins. Ok no more child molesting, just Gluttony!

  2. Loved this coverage thx. Live more leads to similar content if anyone has

  3. Nuns or Sisters should give up the Habits!

  4. But who now will beat kids with rulers and tell them they’re all going too Hell?

  5. John 12:2 A dinner was given at Bethany to honor Jesus. Martha served the food. Lazarus was among the people at the table with Jesus. 3 Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard. It was an expensive perfume. She poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped them with her hair. The house was filled with the sweet smell of the perfume.

  6. Who wants to be involved with Pedo’s?

  7. I was raised by nuns in a catholic school in Mexico. There was this Nun her name is Margarita and she was the kindest and courageous nun I have ever met.

  8. Thank God they've always creeped me out I am truly sorry though

  9. I stayed in a Catholic Maternity home in the 80's. The Nuns (Sisters) were beautiful, peaceful and present. They were quiet yet engaging, sitting with us in the TV room knitting and quietly encouraging us. There were house mothers and social workers so I think their job was just to be there. It was a time in my life (17 yrs old)when I didn't know if I was coming or going. Very, very scared and alone with an uncertain future. I keep my baby, some teen girls put their babies up for adoption but it was probably the most peaceful time in all our lives. I really hope there are still safe Maternity homes for girls in this day and age especially with Roe Vs Wade overturned.

  10. No Nuns are losing America.

  11. 1 Timothy 4:3 men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.

  12. She is important, they pray for us, we are in dificult times

  13. Nuns = base on movies are Ghost or Abusive guardian.

  14. My great aunt is a nun. She tried to recruit me and my sister at my grandmas (her sisters) funeral.

    My other grandma whom is still alive was almost a nun. She was in the convent for a few years but saw signs that it wasn’t her calling. She then married to the man who was writing to her while she was in the convent and has 5 children and one of those children is my mom. I’d never been born unless she dropped out of “nun school.”

  15. We are living in a new world of skanks without respect for themselves that nuns will be history soon, what ashame.

  16. The Catholic Church is the problem no equality for women in their archaic system the world has evolved but the male sexist world within the church is making this decision a no no no no

  17. Catholic nuns I knew from school had to put up with so much from the men, doing all their dirty work in the name of God. Keeping secrets like you couldn't have nightmares about. Turning their heads while horrible things are done in the name of chairty. It's much more difficult to raise a woman with those same blinders. That's why most are in their 80s and dying out.

  18. They are just like everyone else. A lot of them do their dirt in secret that's the only difference.

  19. I was hoping it was because they realized that WE EVOLVED.

  20. The whole ship is sinking.

  21. Well it's nun of my business definitely not getting involved with a religion that abuse so many children,hates gays and look down on minority and preach intolerance at this rate I feel like religion is going out

  22. It seems like God just calls on gay woman?

  23. These Nuns here in America (white EU) they’re perfect to offer to AntiChrist’s in Jerusalem as a sacrifice for the altar of Antichrist’s (Naftalie) in Jerusalem.

  24. You didn’t do the job of passing down your traditions, your knowledge and your roles for men and women. Relenting to the pleas of the young left you aLl bankrupt in it all. Lord help us as the consequences of that come to fruition.
