In theory cloistered nuns should be especially shielded from crooked manipulators because of their seclusion from the outside world. I heard of one English convent where the nuns were told, in very vague terms, about the start of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.

If one or two overcurious nuns spend too much time on the crazier "Catholic" websites, any loony ideas can be imported. I do not know if this is what happened here.
