Best Answer
Roman Catholic AnswerA Catholic sister normally refers to a woman who has taken promises or vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, and serves God in different capacities according to the charism of her order. Nuns are also referred to, when speaking, as "Sister" but in that case it is a form of address not what they are. In countries who speak British English, the latter, in the case of a choir nun, is referred to as "Dame" not "Sister".
