[[Catholic]] nuns ("sisters") traditionally filled many of teaching positions at parochial schools, particularly at the elementary school level.  In 1965, 104,000 teaching sisters educated students in parochial schools in the [[United States]].  By 2007, that number had declined by 94%, such that there are only 8,200 teaching sisters.<ref>Hilary White, "Vatican Cardinal Criticizes U.S. for not Funding Catholic Schools," The Wanderer, pp. 1 and 7, Vol. 140, No. 49 (Dec. 6, 2007).</ref>
