HelpRe: Sister Boniface Mysteries
in reply to a message by EsmeLily
Many nuns have jobs. After Vatican II nuns were allowed to keep their given names and work. This was set in the '60s, so nuns were just allowed to work outside the convent. Sister Boniface would have received that name once she became a nun.
Also, not everyone comes to religious vocations young. A priest I knew was an architect. Another has a BA in English. And just because it become a priest/nun doesn't mean you stop learning. It's not a prison sentence where you spend your life forced to do religious work 24/7.
