...Bishops who are aggressively outspoken friends of labor can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

From the lot, only six girls will be chosen to complete a three-year course leading to their vows. After that they will go into the world to do their work, carefully trained in Christian ethics, sociology, journalism, economics, art, apologetics...
