1+ day, 16+ hour ago (670+ words) Three Austrian nuns in their 80s who ran away from the old people's home where they were placed have been told they can stay in their former convent "until further notice". However, Church authorities say they can only stay if they stop posting on social media. Sister Bernadette, 88, Sister Regina, who is 86 and 82-year-old Sister Rita are the last three nuns at the Kloster Goldenstein convent in Elsbethen, just outside Salzburg. The three nuns say they were taken out of the convent against their will in December 2023. In September, they moved back in with the help of former students and a locksmith, angering Church officials.

The nuns' story sparked worldwide interest. Supporters…...
