I've only met one person around my age who became a nun. I guess she didn't like it though, because she was defrocked. She wouldn't say why, but I think it was mostly for attention. My point of view is, why would an organization forbid the most religious people, the ones interested in fostering religious communities or even simply community building, from having children? It seems like the traditional system is set up for failure.
