38. You never know, what if *gasp* a girl scout grew up to become a nun?
Fri May 18, 2012, 03:31 PM
May 2012

The american nuns would be more uppity than they already are. Ignoring the fact that it is often the sisterhood keeping catholicism alive in america (no nuns=not enough school teachers in their school, less professors in the colleges, less administrators/nurses/docs in their hospitals, etc). I give it 1 generation until the catholic church is on the steep decline to the relevance level of snake handlers, they do not have anything close to enough priests to remain viable. Most of the catholic churches in my area have had to send off for foreign priests when theirs get too old/die/molest children.
