When was the last time you saw a Nun in public? They have to be a dying group, surely?

I don't think many nuns still wear those black outfits. I've seen nuns dressed in normal clothes.

I was taught by nuns in grade school, and in high school. In grade school they wore their black habbits...in high school they were more "modern" and wore normal clothes. I still see nuns here and there in church...

Can they take off those uniforms, and wear different clothing while in public?


Most orders allow nuns the choice of whether to wear the habits or normal clothes. I spent 12 years in Catholic schools and saw a lot of nuns teaching. In my high school there had to have been at least 8 or 9 nuns on the faculty, only one wore the penguin suit.
