Dr. Nevin's emphasis on the Community St. Therese belonged to was refreshing. I appreciated details of the nuns' daily life and aristocratic background of some of them. At the end, I thought the first question of why a man would be interested in this subject was a bit silly but I did enjoy Dr. Nevin's answer. Thanks for this video.
