Today, when most people think of orders of Catholic sisters or nuns, we see a thing of the past. Something that we saw in old black-and-white movies or an experience that our parents had back in Catholic school. This has largely been the case for many religious orders, especially those that modernised. However, not all religious sisters are disappearing. There are still convents around the world that are teeming with sisters. So who are they? And why are they so successful? Let’s find out.
The musings and meandering thoughts of a crotchety old man as he observes life in the world and in a small, rural town in South East Nebraska. I hope to help people get to Heaven by sharing prayers, meditations, the lives of the Saints, and news of Church happenings. My Pledge: Nulla dies sine linea ~ Not a day without a line.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
