Is the situation for monks not the same as for nuns?

 

[Cruciferi]

Well, I’ve certainly never seen this. Back in the day the Churches in my area had paid groundskeepers and housekeeping. I know plenty of nuns and have never heard or encountered this.

Didn’t the article say stop this practice?

 

[Entwhistler]

The author obviously has no clue what monasticism is.

Yes it did. The subject line of this thread made no sense… I edited it. I’m sure the OP won’t mind.

Do any CAF members remember the Magdalene laundries?

 

[Imdaman]

Can anyone show me where this is may be prevalent! I have never read about or witnessed this issue before. not saying it doesn’t happen it certainly may but where? Is this even an issue?

Were not the Magdalene laundries about children working not nuns?
