Why are there fewer sisters today than in the past?

Vocations, Seminar, Priesthood - Vocations Office - Vancouve...
While no one can say with any kind of certainty why fewer men and women are choosing to leave the world and live a life of silence and prayer, there are some factors or elements of contemporary society that are contributors to this phenomenon. The first of these is the fear of making lifelong commitments. In this post-modern era people have an inherent fear of giving of themselves on any long term basis. This is most evident in the divorce rate that unfortunately increases annually.
