@Prancer1231 Actually all unmarried women, whether they are nuns are not, live longer and are more mentally stable than married women. However, the opposite is true for men - married men live longer and are more stable than their single counterparts.  Men need women more than women need men which is why Western society is set up to force the economic dependency of women on men. Women rule and men know it!

@Chocolateluvr1987 There's many people who hide out in ordinary life. I would imagine a person wouldn't last long in religious life if they are there for anything but faith and vocation. Living with people for life you don't necessarily like or will clash with is probably more of challenging experience. Most religious, esp Catholics, are not all hidden in buildings living on a cloud.

The Catholic Church doesn't teach evil but men and women have free will to choose to do evil or good. A great many call themselves Catholic but are only so in name only.

What a wonderful movie.

@starquant saw it and thank you for showing it to me. It makes me wonder, why people seek solace in religion tho. Is it just a modern day place, where folks ( Men AND Women, thanks for your reference) , can do these things in private under the guise of religion?.

@starquant OR because she's afraid of living a life out in the ordinary world?
