Years ago, I remember either reading an article or seeing a video about a monastery that fell apart when the nuns stopped wearing the habit. This monastery was once notable for its number of nuns- it was the largest, but I don't remember if it was the largest in its state (California, I think) or in the country. They allowed psychologists or sociologists to experiment on them by having them wear lay clothes. Wanting to be progressive, they gave it a try. It led to homosexual activity, other forms of decadence, and eventually destroyed the monastery. I want to say the monastery- again, once the largest in either the state or the country- eventually closed for lack of numbers. I'm sorry this is pretty vague, but it's vagueness in my memory is why I have to ask about it. Does anyone know which monastery this was, and does anyone know where I might find the video or article that talked about them?

If they let psychologist and sociologist convince them to get rid of their habits then I would say that they had stopped hearing God's voice way before all the scandalous behavior you described above.
