Jeez – we’re not talking a Cadillac or a Beemer! Would we have them drive a broken down car or a newer car of a brand known to produce more lemons than decent cars? Honda is not only good reliable transportation, but it’s a car that lasts and lasts, making it a better “investment” in terms of trading it in or just selling it – be it individual nun or the convent or whoever.
Also, I agree they are entitled to reliable transportation. They have given up just about everything else and if they are going to serve their community, they have to get there somehow. Sheesh!

This reminds me of another unseeming joke about Jesus’ means of transportation, in this case accompanied by Joseph and Mary.
I should not repeat it.
I know what you mean. These can make you laugh and cringe at the same time . . . . 😉
Giggle!
I remember, long ago, seeing two nuns driving a car that was much newer and nicer than the one I had.
I thought “Didn’t they eschew worldly goods and shouldn’t they be on asses?”
Or perhaps an Accord?
Yes! The nuns who taught me at convent boarding school had definitely taken a vow of poverty. Maybe they’ve changed that now….
It is possible that the nuns, that drove that nicer and newer car, likely owned it with the rest of the convent.
True! And really, why shouldn’t they have good reliable, safe transportation like an Accord?
Jesus keeps his money in the Bank of Montreal. Jesus saves, Jesus saves, Jesus saves.
Oh my. I haven’t sung that since grade school (to the tune of John Brown’s Body, of course!) Thanks for the memory – too funny.
I absolutely ♥ to laugh in the morning! Very cute!!!
Me too – good way to start each day.
