Regarding the cartoon: it's the April 23 cartoon from POLITICO's Matt Wuerker. He doesn't offer any caption, leaving it to the reader, so you might have to study his prior work to get what his slant is. It looks like he does about two cartoons a week, so you could parse out the timing, too.

For me, I see it as showing nuns to be tough and secure - a better bet than the current staff. I like it, given the headlines (Vatican criticism of American nuns and Secret Service pecadillos). Don't have much personal experience with nuns, myself.
