I think this would be more “deus ex machina’. but I find the whole thing incredible: the 45th World Day of Social Communications?!
I went to a convent school and this was never mentioned. I am pretty sure that Mother Seraphim would have mentioned this in religion class on Fridays — though she was pretty obsessed with us “getting scruples” which sounded a lot like a bad skin condition. She was mostly concerned about us not getting pregnant and “doing” sins of commission.
As a Protestant sitting in the back of the room (supposedly working on other lessons) I found that Friday class an eye opener. Women who have attended convent schools will probably know exactly what I mean. :}
