French Public Retirement Home Rejects Catholic Nun For Wearing A Habit

The anti-Catholicism in France runs so deep that a public retirement home would not accept an elderly nun simply because she wore a habit.

According to LifeSiteNews, the 70-year-old nun applied for entry into a retirement home in the city of Vesoul after leaving her convent in October 2018. After waiting nine months for acceptance, authorities stipulated that she could only live in the city’s Centre Communal d’Action Sociale (CCAS) on the condition that she not wear her religious attire — a traditional habit and veil — while permitting her to only wear a “discreet cross.” Apparently, the attire would be disruptive to the residents’ “serenity.”
