Honestly… I’d avoid it even if they’re wasn’t any rape… Why would I sign up to be told not to have sex and to serve a bunch of old men… And then be told to smile more…

The copy/pasted article is missing the final paragraph, which I found delightful:

“In a lighter moment, Francis commented on the lack of young novices in the group, expressing concern about the dwindling numbers of women joining religious life.”

Gosh. Wonder why that is?
