You've heard of sports nuts; now meet the sports nuns

This is a big week for nuns. For a triumvirate of reasons.

First, it's an important week -- Holy Week. It's the church's version of March Madness, when those who make their living draped in the cloth must brace themselves for the annual flood of parishioners who suddenly attend services -- the folks who only show up for Easter (and Christmas). It's the spiritual equivalent to seeing the gym filled with people working out the first week after New Year's. Of course, all are always welcome.

Second, the biggest star of the men's NCAA Final Four is a woman of the cloth.
