Oh dear. Still, the fact that the RCC goes in for nuns prevents them ever totally succumbing to the 'A woman's place is in the home looking after her husband!!!111!' notion. Not that I would be happy if my options in life were restricted to 'stay-at-home wife' and 'nun', but I think it's still a considerable step up on only allowing the first, because it does admit that women have some value aside their utility to a man.
