A few years ago, I was Protestant and wanted to dispel the pop culture myth  of women religious. I was in awe of activist history I found in the research for an undergrad paper I  wrote. A few months later after some research into Catholicism I decided to attend Mass and go through RCIA and couldn't be happier.  From the very beginning I've felt a call to religious life.The activist type Sisters and the traditional ones both live an admirable life. There should be no  habit vs. no habit debate. I believe they should co exist peacefully.
