Growing up in a conservative Catholic family, I was always aware that Dad didn't quite trust nuns. The ones who ran the aged care facilities near our home were fine, but he was deeply suspicious of nuns in educational roles. They might teach us some kind of hippy liberal doctrine about loving others, or promote feminism, and they were probably all secretly lesbians. The only thing he could imagine that would be worse was sending his children to state schools -- where we ended up eventually anyway.

TL;DR, I've always admired people who stand up to the Catholic hierarchy in the name of social justice and doing what's right; and I really regret the hierarchy these days makes Dad look liberal; and I do enjoy telling people about the thorough and excellent sex ed I got from the nuns when I was 13.
