Convent For Married Nuns Opens In Tuscany
Paris reports a historic Catholic experiment the opening of a convent for married monks and nuns at Fone Morandoli in Tuscany Italy. Couples will live in private bungalows near a main building to allow spouses to stay together while pursuing a religious life. The plan addresses the dilemma of leaving a marriage to join a nunnery by permitting marriage partners to accompany their spouses. The Church even suggests married nuns can still make love if they choose though a vow of absolute purity remains possible.
