Roman Catholic AnswerIf you are referring to the Order of the Immaculate Conception, a contemplative order of Nuns of the Catholic Church, then, yes, they are most definitely Catholic. If you are referring to a host of other things commonly called "blue nuns", then, no, they're not.
To pray for the Church and the world. To do work in their community.
The Catholic Church was the only church in the Middle Ages and the pope ruled the church and monarchies of Europe.
The Roman Catholic Church, Anglicans, Lutherans, Orthodox Christians, Jains, Taoists, Hindus, and Buddhists are some of the churches that have nuns. They have chosen a cloistered lifestyle and are dedicated to their beliefs.
The order was the Pope, Cardinals, Priest and the Monks or Nuns..
A divorced Protestant woman can not take communion in the Catholic church. According to the Catholic church a divorced woman is committing adultery and can not become a nun.
They either left the Catholic Church of they left the country.
'Lay people' is a term reffered to the common man by the church. Where there are priests and nuns and the people who attend the ceremony is termed as lay people.
The French revolution was extremely hostile to the Catholic Church. They guillotined priests, nuns, and sisters by the hundreds, desecrated Churches, and destroyed priceless relics.
You are a little confused. Catholic nuns are cloistered and do no work outside of their monastery. The women that you see that teach, nurse, work in parishes are Sisters (although they are commonly referred to as nuns, they are not). All nuns AND Sisters take a vow of poverty when they are fully professed and may not receive any salary. Any salary that their Order mayreceive is paid for by whatever institute they that work for: the hospital, the parish, the school, etc. There is no "Catholic Church" institute, only particular Churches which are individual Bishops and their dioceses.
They're Anglican nuns. Westminster Abbey is part of the Church of England.
