Nun Kicked Out Of Convent For Facebook Use

We've heard stories about Facebook usage affecting people's jobs before, but now the social network has gotten someone kicked out of a religious order.

The Telegraph reports that María Jesús Galán, a nun at the Santo Domingo el Real convent in Toledo, Spain, has been asked to "leave the convent after disagreements over her online activities." In other words: She's been glued to the computer just a bit too much.

Apparently the 54-year old has been nicknamed "Sister Internet" by her fellow nuns and made a habit of surfing the Internet after winning a well-publicized award:

In 2008, she won a local government prize for her painstaking work scanning the pages of precious texts held in the convent's library.
The award made headlines and she soon had scores of friends worldwide connecting through her Facebook page.
