  • A religious sister (abbreviated Sr. or Sist.) in the Catholic Church is a woman who has taken public vows in a religious institute dedicated to apostolic works, as distinguished from a nun who lives a cloistered monastic life dedicated to prayer. Both nuns and sisters use the term "sister" as a form of address. The HarperCollins Encyclopedia of Catholicism (1995) defines as "congregations of sisters institutes of women who profess the simple vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, live a common life, and are engaged in ministering to the needs of society." As William Saunders writes: "When bound by simple vows, a woman is a sister, not a nun, and thereby called 'sister'. Nuns recite the Liturgy of the Hours or Divine Office in common … [and] live a contemplative, cloistered life in a monastery … behind the 'papal enclosure'. Nuns are permitted to leave the cloister only under special circumstances and with the proper permission." (en)
  • La suora (dal latino sŏrŏr, sororis, «sorella»), nella Chiesa cattolica, è una donna che ha pronunciato voti pubblici e semplici di povertà, obbedienza e castità e che conduce vita fraterna in una congregazione religiosa canonicamente eretta dalla legittima autorità ecclesiastica. Le congregazioni di suore di diritto pontificio sono elencate nell'Annuario pontificio. A differenza delle monache (che emettono voti solenni e appartengono a ordini religiosi antichi), generalmente le suore non vivono in clausura ma si dedicano a opere di apostolato attivo, come l'assistenza ad anziani e ammalati o l'istruzione e l'educazione cristiana della gioventù.
