Cardinal Peter d'Ailly declared that the immorality in the nunneries was so notorious that it was common for girls who wanted to enter a life of prostitution simply to take the veil. One of the reasons for the Church's denunciation of Savonarola was that he declared the nuns in the convents were no better than harlots, and that the whole fabric of morality was being corrupted by the adultery of members of the religious orders. [*88] In order to remedy the evil of the widespread immorality existing in the nunneries, the Council of Saragossa forbade virgins to take the veil unless they were at least forty years of age. [*89]

∙ 11y agoThe proper term for service role is Apostolate. Most sisters are in either the Teaching or educational role (Apostolate) or the health-care apostolate- expanded beyond hospitals to such things as schools for the blind and other handicapped homes. ( The Sisters of St. Joseph are known for this). There were in not too distant times, also suppy or logistics nuns- the Convent of St.Zita earned its keep in large part by supplying religous articles to ocean-going ships that had chapels,. ( most freight vessels do not). and so it goes- some were involved in production of religious articles also.
