Historically speaking, why do Nuns exist
>>18495631Continuation of vestal virgins
>>18495648That's it? Pretty boring.
>>18495631Do nuns speak ill of men in convents? I have that impression. Every woman in a group speaks ill of men, but I think nuns do it every day. Does anyone know anything about this?
If I were a girl, I'd consider being a nun.
They're just female monks.I think every faith with a monastic tradition probably has separate male and female orders
>>18495769What?
>>18495777Huh?
>>18495687If only nuns were this cute
Orphanage, welfare center, mental asylum and prison for women. Also fuckmeat harem for rare heterosexual male priests
so that they can be raped by invading armies
>>18495687Why?
what did the execution of the nuns had to do with the french revolution? Why was the revolution so anti clerical?
>>18496687>Why was the revolution so anti clerical?Because the Catholic Church was in bed with the monarchy and aristocracy and repeatedly told the peasantry that opposing their nepotistic rulers was satanic.
>>18496691I understand, but they were some nuns, not the ones in charge like the bishops or the cardinals. Nuns, like monks barely have any political power. In the end, the only thing they achieve was alienating the peasantry which was still deeply catholic
>>18495631Someone has to suck the priests off when they can't find any boys
>>18496701Those nuns did not renounce their loyalty to Rome, Robespierre considered this treason and had them beheaded.
>>18497342Unironically he was right. Anyone who places their loyalty to the Catholic Church above their own nations is a traitor to said nations.
