Catholics have more fun

 

This gives an entirely new meaning to the expression "Catholics have more fun". Note that these are Franciscan nuns and that they claim to be traditionalist (conservative) Catholics! Yeah, the kind the Cathars reacted against. Or even Francis himself... 

>>>Local Spanish media have revealed that the excommunicated Poor Clares of Belorado in Burgos racked up a debt of over 45,000 euros, on extravagant expenses including velvet and silk sheets, a fighting bull, and high-quality jamón ibérico - a speciality Spanish ham.

>>>According to local reports, the sisters had been buying eccentric items such as high-quality jamón, laptops and cell phones, and even a fighting bull that had to be sold after it could not be tamed. 

>>>One vendor sent a bill for 6,900 euros, due in January, for items including silk sheets, feather down comforters, and velvet footrest covers. The vendor alleged that the last time he spoke with the sisters on the phone, one sister told him that “Saint Peter would repay [him]” and never answered the phone again.

>>>One of the largest unpaid bills - for more than 18,000 euros - is from a French company, for an oven and raw materials to make the chocolates that the sisters sold to sustain themselves. The sisters’ sweets were known across Spain and even served in Michelin-star restaurants.
