Roman Catholic answer

The definition of evil is a lack of God. God created everything in the world, and called it good. Anything that has being or existence is good. God created angels and men with free will so that they could choose. They do not always choose God, when they choose something other then God, they are committing sin and evil enters in. Think of it like this: if God was the sun shining in the sky, now, turn around, away from the sun. What do you see? A shadow. The shadow is NOTHING, it is an absence of light. That is what evil is. The devil, himself, was created good, it was only when he turned away from God and in on himself that he became evil.

Nuns are creatures of God, just like you and me. More than that, they have chosen God as the all of their life. Their entire life is dedicated to God and doing His Will. Therefore, by definition they are very good. As they are human, like everyone else, they fall now and then; but one would expect them to be better in the long run as they are trying harder, and are starting out in the right direction!
