A bi? Because you will always read about their scandals with Rev. Fathers.
I schooled in a Catholic university, that also runs a convent.

Either they're in dalliance with co sisters, other reverend brothers and fathers, or they're looking for young fresh male students to oil their engines.

Some even scheme to get into juicy offices like the accounts departments or the school microfinance bank, after a while that they've earned the trust of the chancellor, they disappear with the schools treasury and go and marry.

Vows of poverty is not personally acquiring properties, rather sharing with others from a common purse.

My elder sister is a Reverend Sister, she earns big in the US working in a top medical facility, the salary is not wholly hers and very huge chunk goes into the purse of her Religious Order and still ensuring she lives comfortably.

Actually, I'm not an atheist, man.
And you don't know anything about me. You only know what I want you to know.
Bye.

So it should be called something else not vows of poverty. No need to confuse the public.

I asked what the role of Reverend Sisters are and someone said they dedicate their lives to prayers, teach in schs, help in Catechism, etc. I mean, you can do all that without ever being a reverend sister.

Hope you know they don't marry? So if you can do what other normal people do and not marry, there must be sth superficial you do more than them.

Don't forget this is one of the reasons the Anglican Church was created. It was basically about marriage and reproduction with reverence in contrast to the Catholic doctrines.

AI made Nairaland obsolete. No wonder this place felt the exodus of regulars.

I believe it’s more of a “since males give their lives to God (reverend fathers), females should too.” Men and women are human beings. Our God is the supreme ruler of humans.

Ok. I'm mostly for business, and to discuss.

You've spent 8 months & 25 days on Nairaland since you joined. That's enough idleness experience, chief.. You should know better than me.
Re: What Is Actually The Work Of Reverend Sisters? by Undisputed147: 10:38am On Apr 12
I agree with you, because if he really was a true ex Catholic he would have known what reverend sisters do
SisterAnn:
Even though your post is AI generated you say, all the above listed are very obvious truths that even the Op knows about.
But I guess his motive for opening this thread is just draw attention to himself and siggy message for copywriting.

The OP is a Yoruba Muslim.


He will get the comment he is looking for since he already concluded his answer before asking the question.

I'm not a Muslim. I'd never be a Muslim...same way I'd never be a Catholic again.

They are reserved for intimate relationships with the Reverend Fathers and church elders. There have been several documentaries produced on their suffering yet the world is silent to their issues.

A lot of them are sexually exploited but can’t speak out due to trauma, stigma and inability to fight the powerful church leaders. They are effectively stuck between a rock and a hard place so they simply carry on as most people will not believe their plight. The congregation will 99% of the time stick with their church leaders in the event of any allegations brought forward against them.

No one is confusing any public.

In the Catholic Church, for those in the Religious Orders, they take eligious vows in the form of the three evangelical vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience.

I would like to know how they earn their income.
Is it like the way rev fathers earn(church offerings and other businesses they built)?
Mindlog:
My elder sister is one.

After graduating from the university, she joined a Religious oOder and it took 5 years for her to achieve her First Profession and another 5 years for her Final/Perpetual Profession.

Her Religious Order had her study in the UK, Ireland and Rome.

She has worked in missions in many Countries in healthcare.

She has worked in healthcare facilities in Northern Nigeria, Kenya, Ireland, Ghana, St.Lucia, Jamaica and presently in the US.

God bless you and your generation. You have said it all. Thank you.
edogu:
In the Catholic Church, Reverend Sisters (women in consecrated religious life) serve through a combination of spiritual commitment, community life, and practical service. Their roles vary depending on the charism of their religious order, but generally include the following:

1. Prayer and Spiritual Service
Prayer is central to their vocation. Many sisters commit to daily prayer, communal worship, and personal meditation. Through intercession and spiritual guidance, they support the faith and wellbeing of individuals and communities.

2. Education
A large number of sisters work in schools as teachers, head teachers, or education administrators. They help shape moral, intellectual, and spiritual development in children and youths, especially in mission and underserved areas.

3. Health Care
Many sisters serve in hospitals, clinics, and rehabilitation centres as nurses, counsellors, administrators, or caregivers. Their work includes caring for the sick, the elderly, and vulnerable populations, often in areas with limited healthcare resources.

4. Social and Humanitarian Work
Reverend Sisters often support vulnerable groups such as orphans, widows, refugees, victims of violence, and people experiencing poverty. They may run orphanages, shelters, feeding programmes, skills-training centres, and advocacy programmes for justice and human dignity.

5. Pastoral and Evangelisation Work
They assist in parish life through catechesis, sacramental preparation, youth ministry, family counselling, and organising church activities. In rural or mission communities, sisters sometimes take on key pastoral responsibilities when priests are not regularly available.

6. Administration and Leadership
Within their congregations, sisters take on leadership roles such as community superior, principal of schools, hospital administrator, or director of social service centres. They also participate in decision-making processes in dioceses and religious institutions.

7. Living the Vows
Reverend Sisters publicly commit to the evangelical vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. These vows guide their lifestyle and decisions, reflecting a life dedicated to service rather than personal accumulation.

In summary, Reverend Sisters serve as educators, caregivers, social workers, spiritual guides, and community builders, contributing significantly to church life and society at large.

Terminology from a totally different era. It's not poverty in the "Nigerian" sense as we know it. It's more of detachment from property acquisition. They are well taken care of and whatever gifts, donations or payment received from jobs belong to the community.

Actually I don't care if they have sex or not. It's not my business. They are adults and can choose what they do...as far as it's consensual. My post have no connection with an adult 's emotional life. So my post isn't related to what adults choose to do, but what the role of the job is.
