The Reverend Sisters, I have seen in Anambra and Imo serve as hospitals administrators, Principals in Catholic Nursing Schools and some as Nurses. To me as a Muslim, I will not and ever speak evil about other religious. They are prudent and corrupt free in their financial dealings. Which means, you can take their words to the bank. I have been having business dealings with them over years. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Women have served in the Catholic Church since its earliest days and inhabit unique roles within it. The women who take permanent vows devoting their lives to the church are known as sisters. Two different kinds of sisters exist: those who take simple vows and can leave their convents to offer service and those who take solemn vows, live sequestered and are called nuns. Both kinds of sisters have special functions within the church. Prayer and Contemplation Nuns are sisters who have taken solemn vows and are permanently bound to a monastery. Nuns are traditionally completely cloistered from the outside world; however, smaller communities that cannot function completely autonomously may allow sisters to leave to shop for food or visit the doctor. Because they do not leave or take visitors, traditional nuns spend their time in contemplation, working in the monastery, praying and studying. Sisters who take solemn vows devote their lives to contemplating and engaging in communion with God. This lifestyle is meant to preach to others by example. Education One of the most common services that sisters provide is education. Sects such as the Sisters of the Holy Child have historically focused primarily on providing education in a parochial school environment. In recent decades, however, the number of women entering religious orders has diminished and fewer nuns are available to teach. In the United States, parochial schools still exist and are staffed by nuns, but the majority of modern teachers are members of the laity. Sisters teach in rural communities in many countries as well as in universities. Nursing Nursing is another common activity for Catholic sisters. Groups such as the Sisters of the Holy Cross work in many countries in small clinics and hospitals and provide a variety of services. In Uganda, the Holy Cross order provides pre- and postnatal care, immunizations and AIDS counseling. Catholic sisters played a prominent role during the Civil War and provided medical care for both sides, and groups such as the Sisters of Charity treated cholera epidemics and established hospitals such as St. Vincent's Hospital in New York City. Religious Ministry In addition to caring for the poor, providing education and helping the sick, sisters also engage in missionary work and religious ministry. One group, for example, the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, engages in evangelical ministry through prison outreach, chaplaincy and campus ministry. The Daughters of St. Paul specialize in communicating their order's mission and beliefs through modern forms of media. This group provides spiritual ministry through books, podcasts, radio, YouTube, apps and other media. 3 Likes |

kissval1388:I know you asked this to ridicule the Catholic Church. Aside the outreach, humanitarian, educational, religious functions, they are domesticated to skills and acquisitions to serve the Church as a body. Stringing and beading of Rosaries, Scapula, Medals. Sewing of vestments for the Reverends, production of religious materials e.g candles, incense, host(communion) and so on. Reason every aspirant must learn a skill or 2 of these in formation house. 1 Like |

ElsonMorali: Don't mind that guy. His motive is never to learn, but to find fault. I took him up yesterday about this same issue and I found out that all his assertions are what he thinks is the truth and not what the scripture s say. He doesn't have any valid understanding of the scriptures; he is just following what he feels should be the truth. |

Hausa man can tolerate everything, but you MUST not cross the boundary which is his religion. Today is sunday for God sake and the moderator posted a nonsense question.

nairanaira12: The truth is bitter, my brother. How they have managed to blind you with their paganism is what I don't understand. Don't you people have personal Bibles? But then, it also doesn't surprise me. The Bible said the Antichrist will deceive, if possible, even the elect. |

nairanaira12: The Bible said we should never bow down to idols. Your church encourages people to bow down to idols. Your church has over a billion members. These members are being led astray. The Antichrist would lead many astray. Would deceive, if possible, even the elect. The Catholic Church is that Antichrist. She has strong influence on world politics and economies just as the Bible predicted. The Catholic Church is the Antichrist leading many of you astray. |

nairanaira12: Stop bowing down to graven images. Don't say I did not warn you. God's position about idolatry is explicit enough. You are asking for proof. What proof do you need to believe the Catholic Church is evil? You do so many things contrary to what is expected of good Christians. I don't know why you must worship mortals like yourself when the Bible made it clear that worship belonged to God only. He is a jealous God. Stop bowing down to images. Mary is dead and gone, having served her purpose here on earth. The Apostles are gone too. But Jesus is alive and only through Him should you seek God. He is our only mediator. When He was leaving earth, He didn't leave us in the hands of Mary. He promised to send the Holy Spirit. |
