Spade_Cooley 9,601 Posted June 14, 2013 Sister Maria Romero, the longest-serving cloistered nun in history, has died at 105. She got thee to a nunnery 86 years ago, and spent 40 years within the confines of the building until leaving it to meet Pope Benny two years ago. That must have been a disappointment for her. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
