TIL that in the Middle Ages, a nun in a French convent inexplicably began to meow like a cat, shortly leading to the other nuns in the convent also meowing. Eventually all the nuns would meow together for a certain period every day. This did not stop until the police threatened to whip the nuns en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lis…

When joining a convent in medieval Europe, how much did social rank matter? Would it be expected that someone of higher birth would attain superior office?

This question is basically inspired by hearing about how high-ranking clergy often seem to be of royal or aristocratic backgrounds. Did this hold true for women who joined religious organisations? Of so, was it purely nepotistic, or was high birth seen as an indication of administrative skill/education/piety?

Apologies for the breadth of the geographical and temporal scope - my knowledge here is nun too great.

A convent of Catholic nuns receives a letter saying the Pope himself will be visiting in just a few days

They are all very excited and nervous. Mothers Mary, Agnes, and Isadore take it upon themselves to prepare the convent to receive His Holiness and plan a simple but delicious meal of fresh caught fish from the local lake with herbs and vegetables from their own garden.

Agnes goes to the local lake and casts her bait and within seconds she feels a mighty tug on the line. She reels in a beautiful fish every color of the rainbow! Surely this is a sign of god's grace and love, and it would be a perfect fish to serve to the Pope. The trouble is Agnes nor any of the other nuns had ever seen such a fish before and had no idea what it was or how to prepare it so they put it on ice and took it to the local village which had many experienced fishermen.

When they entered a fishing shop with their catch they asked the shopkeeper what they had caught. He removed his sunglasses and said "Oh goodness that's very rare! I haven't seen one in years. This fish is called a Sunnavabitch and is absolutely beautiful when prepared correctly!"

They thanked the fisherman for his advice and sought the services of a local chef for his input on how to properly prepare the Sunnavabitch. He said "It must be treated gently! Lightly steamed until the flesh is just tender. This will make a fine meal for His Holiness!"

The following day Agnes left the fish with Mary and Isadore to begin cooking while she gathered fresh produce from around the Convent. Mary took special care to clean and gut the fish, leaving not a single scale or bone. Isadore took Agnes' herbs and vegetables and cooked them with the fish. No sooner had the meal come together than they heard a knock on the door and it was the pope himself! They graciously welcomed him in to their table and proudly placed the fish before him.

They prayed and ate the meal as the Pope praised every bite, thanking God and the nuns for such incredible bounty.

When finished the Pope said "This-a meal was-a so good! But I have-a never had such a fish in-a all of my days. Who made-a this?"

Wanting to speak properly Agnes stepped forward and said "Well your Holiness, I caught the Sunnavabitch, Mary cleaned the Sunnavabitch an Isadore cooked the Sunnavabitch. We are grateful it was to your liking"

The pope nodded knowingly to the three nuns and sat back in his chair and said "You know, you fuckers are all right"

One day in Ireland two leprechauns knock on the door of a convent.

The mother superior opens the door to see the two little green men.

"How may I help you?" she asks.

"Mother superior," the younger leprechaun says. "Are there any leprechaun nuns in your convent?"

The mother superior thinks for a while and answers, "No, we have no leprechaun nuns."

"Well, miss, do ye know of any leprechaun nuns in the county?" the younger leprechaun asks.

The mother superior thinks for a second and answers, "As far as I know, there aren't any in the county."

"Well, do ye know of any leprechaun nuns in all of Ireland then?" the younger leprechaun asks.

The mother superior ponders the question, then says, "As far as I know, there aren't any in this convent, county or in this country. What's with you and leprechaun nuns?"

The younger leprechaun says to his friend, "I told you you were fucking a penguin!"

Full disclaimer: I got the joke from a book.
