Answer 1

I would think that it would vary from religious order to religious order. I suggest you contact your local Catholic diocese's Office for Vocations for assistance.

Here is a links page with over 50 links to religious orders for women: http://www.catholic-forum.com/links/pages/Religious_Orders/Institutes_of_Women/
With love in Christ.

Answer 2

There is a huge difference between mental illness and develomental disabilities.

Mental illness, no, you cannot become a nun.

Develomental disabilities, perhaps, depends on the disability.

The best thing for her to do is to contact a convent and inquire - not have you do this for you - perhaps she cannot be a nun, but a lay person and otherwise fulfill her desire to serve God.

Answer 3

Yes. Just look at all the sick O, child molesting priests in the catholic church.

All religions are evil.

Believe in god but not all this BS religous stuff that's in books like the bible.

Just so you know I was raised catholic. 12 years of catholic school and church every week.

Answer 4

I wouldnt see why not, Nuns are very rare these days. We dont even have nuns in my home county.

Answer 5

As long as they don't mind living in the bell tower.
