As long as society ensured a regular supply of novices, the convents were able to take care of the elderly and disabled members of their orders and often of the community at large as well - in fact it was a matter of pride that they should do so. Several orders take vows of stability and their nuns signed up expecting to live, die and be buried within the convent walls. However, these days there simply aren't enough recruits to keep the wheels turning; that way of life is, I suspect, gone forever and the state will have to step in accordingly. Still, the best of luck to Srs Marie-Daniel and Saint-Denis, wherever they are! The problem is a shortage of nuns.

You canny kick nuns out of their gaff - FFS, they've probably been there since pupilage. Ridiculous. This Mother Superior sounds a bit mean, frankly.

Give nuns the idea that they should not simply put up with the orders of their superiors, and all hell breaks loose.
