摘要

天主教“女修道士”(修女)的独身生活使人们对上世纪60年代和70年代澳大利亚“解放年代”的熟悉叙述陷入了两难境地。在这篇文章中，我分析了一个重要的口述历史档案，以前没有考虑过这个目的，来解释女性宗教是如何在这个时期的社会和制度变革中“理解”她们的性取向的。我认为，澳大利亚的宗教女性将独身重新定义为成熟的异性恋，通过这样做，她们被认定为普通女性，即使她们在天主教会中保持着特殊的地位。

Mature Heterosexuality: Catholic Women Religious' Celibacy in Australia's Liberation Decades

ABSTRACT The celibacy of Catholic “women religious”, or nuns, presents a dilemma for familiar narratives about the 1960s and 1970s as Australia’s “liberation decades”. In this article, I analyse an important oral history archive, not previously considered for this purpose, to explain how women religious “made sense” of their sexuality in relation to the social and institutional transformations of this period. I argue that women religious in Australia redefined celibacy as mature heterosexuality, and by doing so, they identified as ordinary women even as they held to their special status within the Catholic Church.
