Catholic Nuns are women who have given their entire lives to God in a monastery, in the Catholic Church nuns usually take vows of stability, conversatio morum, and obedience. They believe in doing the Will of God which they find in their Rule. Nuns are addressed as “Sisterâ€. However, they are not “Sisters†in the sense of religious sisters. Religious sisters make promises of obedience, poverty, and chastity (these are contained in the nuns’ vow of conversatio morumâ€) and teach, nurse, work in parishes, etc. Nuns, on the other hand are usually cloistered and exist totally to worship God. Other religions like Protestantism and Buddhism do not distinguish between nuns and sisters. Bottom line? Nuns believe in God, and that worship of God alone is what they are called to do in this life. Everything else they do is subservient to that, and in obedience to their Rule, and their Abbess.
