On this episode of F*ck Wellness, Mallory tells the long and storied history of Catholic nuns, specifically focusing on a progressive group of nuns in Los Angeles, California during the 1960's. This tale focuses on a dramatic controversy between the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Cardinal McIntyre of LA, and the Vatican. Lara, Mal, & Ken discuss why Mother Teresa might be problematic, whether they could ever be nuns, and there is a quick visit with our local non-practicing Catholic, Ryan Powers.
