| Summary: | After considering different religious communities, two lay women decide to affiliate with a particular religious institute. Over a period of many years, they learn the ways of the institute and actively participate in its life to the degree that is allowed. Both have a desire to enter the institute. However, their health prevents them from being admitted. They speak to a pastor about their situation. He allows them to profess private vows during Mass. They purchase real estate, give the building a religious name, wear clothing that is similar to a habit and live together. Parishioners like them and begin calling them “Sisters”. Sometime later the pastor dies. This situation then comes to the attention of the bishop. He asks for advice. |
