I know there are monasteries that have their own nursing homes located on site, so the nuns and monks can die in their community when time comes. That personally makes sense to me.Defiant nuns flee Austrian care home for their abandoned convent in the Alps
Sisters Bernadette, Regina and Rita needed a locksmith to get back into their convent, defying Church leaders.The nuns say they are determined to stay."Before I die in that old people's home, I would rather go to a meadow and enter eternity that way," said Sister Bernadette.
Yay, sisters!
Yet they have broken obedience to their parents once already.
How do you know they broke their obedience to their parents? My great aunt was a nun (Southeast Texas) who told me that way too many girls became nuns because their parents put them in the convent as they couldn't afford to keep them - this would've been back in the fifties around the same time these women became nuns. She explained that was why there were so many bitter nuns.Wanted to edit the post, but the edit window passed, the edited post looks like this:
True, yet they have broken obedience to their parents once already. There must be exceptions occasionally. Obviously some of us don't agree with everything the Catholic Church does in the first place, while having great respect for some aspects of their religious orders within their Church.
According to one of the nuns, she challenges anyone who thinks she is infirm in her body to a race.

If that really is so, why did she get put away in an old people's home when she can probably beat me in a race?
None of us really know the truth here, only the nuns do by praying to God and having him reveal it to them.
I suppose I am not referring to every single instance of people entering monasteries, despite the wording in the earlier post, but those who leave their parents despite their parents having different intentions for them (ie becoming doctor, engineer etc) and taking up the cross in monasteries.
You made the remark about these nuns in particular, apparently for no good reason.
Weird hypothetical that seems to have no relevance to this case.
I don't understand why you are making this argument in this thread - is this just a beef you have with the Roman Catholic Church in general?
It seems relevant to believe that not all obedience is created equal, for example, if you disagree with certain things in the modern RCC then from my perspective (and hopefully God's), they may be proven to have done the right thing.
