Twenty-eight year old Alida Taylor said she felt the call of God to enter a vocational life. As a result, she tried to join the New York City's Sisters of Life Convent on the Upper West Side.
Except the convent wouldn't allow Taylor to study to become a nun. Was it because they felt Taylor's soul tingling with the spirit of the Devil? Nah. It's because Taylor still owed $18,000 in student loan debt.
"Religious life is a full-time job, so to speak, so she wouldn't be able to work and enter into religious life," Sr. Mariae Agnus Dei told CBS2 in New York.
Jesus is on-call 24/7, amiright, Sister??
Under Roman Catholic canon law, one cannot join a life of religious study if they have a debt that would otherwise be impossible to pay. That $20,000 in credit card debt you have for all your designer clothes? Surprisingly not helpful when trying to get tight with Jesus.
Alas, prayers were answered. Taylor started a GoFundMe page to raise $12,000 of that debt, and donations flew in, including an anonymous $4,505 donation.
Meaning God might be the biggest debt relief agency going.
