Thanks, Mark. I did want, however, to correct any misapprehension from your description -- Loretto Girl isn't stupid. Far from it. She's bright, but astonishingly naive about the dynamics of freedom, conscience, and human communities.

Odd, given that she's likely spent more than a decade under the direct tutelage of a religious paradigm that realizes all three.
