This is a good Order that follows the most important teachings of the Church. ALL OF THEM! These Nuns are one hundred percent VIRGINS!

GOD BLESS THEM!

Beatus, are you saying that non-virgins are not accepted by this order?

[shortnun]

All the women (sisters and non) that I've known named Cora are truly beautiful.

Good question.

How does anyone know? Is it a requirement for entrance?

[Beatus]

Yes. That is what I am saying. You must be pure. One of the young "ladies" in my discernment group was "discerning" with them. She is NOT a virgin. She was turned down. Also, just for your information, one of the Sisters, Sister Timothy Marie, at the Retreat Center gave a talk. She was asked by someone in the group about vocations. One of the questions was (on the topic of virginity): What if a woman has never had "relations" but is inclined to like the same sex. (She didn't put it that way, but I think you know what I mean.) Sister Timothy Marie said that Order had thought about this before. You must be pure. Period. You cannot have even inclinations towards unnatural desires and be accepted. It does not matter if you have never acted upon them. If you have them, you cannot enter. That is how I know they are all Virgins and you can call the Retreat Center or the Motherhouse and ask to speak to Sister Timothy Marie and she will tell you the truth. And according to the "lady" in my group, and according to the lecture I heard from the Sister, they DO ask. This is important news.

But was your friend told that she was turned down specifically for that reason?

I just want to be clear.
