[quote=Anonymous]In the Catholic Church, nuns increasingly do not wear head coverings, although all Orthodox nuns do. I am not sure of Episcopal nuns. The whole concept of monasticism is that monastics (which includes religious sisters and nuns) undertake burdens far great than laity. They have stricter fasting rules, some may not eat meat at all, they deprive themselves of sleep to pray at various hours of the night, they live in poverty, etc. Monastics in most denominations I am familiar with live much more parsimoniously than clerics (priests). Head coverings on women are part of this abstemiousness. Religious sisters who interact with the public now a days often do not wear habits or cover their heads to be more approachable by the laity. They still live in poverty, fast, etc. [/quote]
