Wait, some nuns of the order of St. Claire in Orduña have been asking the bishop for a licence to sell their pastries at the Derio monastery for 10 years, to no avail.

And they're so fed up they have officially rejected the Pope, archbishops, and bishops, and are now creating a schism inside their order because they're gonna sell those fucking pastries whether they like it or not.

WTF is this fantasy!!!!!

The Feast of St. Teresa of Ávila is on October 15th!

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY: St. Teresa of Ávila (or Sister Teresa of Jesus, as she was known) was a Carmelite nun, a mystic, a reformer, and a musician! She'd play drums and tambourines to keep time for her sisters as they played other instruments or danced in their recreational time. In this cartoon, St. Teresa receives a new drum kit, but it's too big for her to play alone. Drum kits aren't normally meant for two people, but as the other nun points out, this a "co-nun-drum." A conundrum is a dilemma (like having a drum made for two people when you only have one drummer). A co-nun-drum is a drum made for two nuns to co-play (play cooperatively).
