Deus Avertat: Rule of Law
In this role-playing/simulation game, you are the hero Cardinal Law, Archbishop of Boston. Your goal is to manage turmoil in the congregations of the archdiocese. Relocate child-molesting priests to keep parishioners from revolting, maintain secrecy and the good image of the Church, negotiate with police and prosecutors to "handle" the cases within the Church, all while raising enough donations to pay off endless civil settlements. Only players who have what it takes to hang on for several decades of play will achieve the final reward, a full retirement package including a $5000 monthly salary, a housekeeping staff and even a personal chauffeur.

How do the nuns fit in?

Originally posted by DoctorScribblesQuickly following my first and second thoughts were the realization of the accuracy of this. There are retirement homes for priests and there are nuns who are pleased to be able to do their housekeeping tasks (i.e. cleaning, laundry, etc.). I'll go puke now.
