Ladies and gentlemen, the clown world:
The rules of engagement for becoming a “consecrated virgin” in the eyes of the Catholic Church used to be fairly simple: Women had to be virgins, had to be unmarried, and had to remain chaste. But according to Ecclesiae Sponsae Imago, the latest teaching document released under Pope Francis, women now no longer have to be virgins. In Section 88 of the lengthy document, the church states that while preferred, virginity is no longer a requirement to be, well, a virgin.
EDIT: JFL I wanted to post a metric system thread for height and the poll got into this thread. Delete it please.
