Polish Police evicted 65 rebellious ex-nuns Wednesday from a convent they illegally occupied for two years after defying a Vatican order to replace their mother superior, a charismatic leader who had religious visions.
The defeated nuns walked out in their black habits — some carrying guitars, drums and tambourines — after a locksmith opened the gate to the walled compound and police in riot gear rushed in and arrested the mother superior.
I say lock them up just for the guitars, drums and tambourines. No word yet if neighbors complained of the Kumbaya-ing too loudly into the wee hours of the morning but I’ll investigate.

Hey, at least they LOOK like nuns. These days that’s noteworthy in itself.
And yeah, lock ’em up for the guitars, drums and tambourines. It was supposed to be a convent, not a rehearsal hall for a rock-n-roll band.

Didn’t you see Sister Act 2?

LOL, I really did my best to avoid that movie!

Um, I guess Obedience was not one of the vows this order had in its constitution?!?
