Like my apartment building used to be the churches school. Anyways, a few days ago I was looking out my window to see two elderly nuns fighting. Like hitting and yelling at each other. My mother wanted to call the priest and let him know but I told her not to because it was none of our business. I am not making this up. This is absolute true story. I was shocked as hell to see it. What the heck could two nuns have to fight about that was so bad they had to duke it out on the street? I'm not trying to be disrespectful or anything but what the heck is up with that?

Even though I'm not religious I like living in back of church because hearing the bells are nice.

being nuns does not deprive them the privilege to have a good fight!

I suppose the Catholic nun is easily assumed to be pacifist, the kind of person that would not hurt a fly. And, indeed, many are like that.
But we must not forget that nuns are people, and that people have emotions as well. Such a spectacle would have caught my individed attention too. Two nuns fighting is not something you see everyday because it is SO out of character.
Alas, we can only assume that they were arguing over something near and dear to their hearts, maybe a difference in opinion over a matter concerning the Church?
I take it you've lived near the Church for some time now, and this is the first time you've ever seen two nuns fighting? This suggests such an event does not occur often.
You will most likely not see such a thing again. However, if you are to see another nun-fight, I think it best to tell the Pastor about it. An anonymous phone call would suffice.

the self righteous piety of the clergy is not new there were popes in the past that waged war like during the time of Michealangelo for instance remember the Holy wars.
religious fervor is subject to the same pitfalls of any emotionally disturbed outburst . In psychological terms they refer to this as emotionally disturbed and is probably closely related to a neurosis such as Freud called religion :(comparable to a childhood neurosis)

Jealousy over another nun? Would that shock you?

You know you have to tell the priest because if you didn't said it they will fight again.

It's OK, as long as they don't get into the HABIT.
