From BBC News: Feuding nuns force convent demise:
A convent in Italy is being shut down after a fight between its last three remaining nuns.
So badly did relations deteriorate between the sisters of Santa Clara in Bari that the Mother Superior ended up in hospital with scratches to her face.
The best bit is at the end though, where the article talks about the remaining nun's (the Mother Superior) intransigence on the subject of leaving:
But Sister Liliana is not going without a fight.
She has not once left the nunnery in 44 years and she is not about to be pushed about now.
She has written to the Pope telling him she will only leave when God decides it is time to go.
And since she is devoted to her vow of silence it is not that easy to reason with her.
Someone had fun writing that bit, let me tell you.
