Thanks, Greenfields. I had seen this story somewhere else but I found it to be delightful.

Yes, I saw that.
I hope they are going to continue the monastic tradition of brewing excellent beer.
St Brigid, even though a Celtic nun, not a Benedictine, was a skillful brew(st)er, as was - I think - St Hildegard, the German genius.

It is a great story. Shameful treatment, but unsurprising. The administrative squalor and casual abuse of these communities is hard to stomach.

I should have said administrative malice. It is so frequent in what is called the "West".
It seems particularly focused on nuns and sisters. I have my theories.

Good on the nuns. I hope the convent can be made comfortable for them.
