2. No, they aren't
Nuns are like hen's teeth, which, in an odd way, gives them a shitload of freedom. They CAN speak truth to power, because they haven't any power, except, of course, moral power.

They will be forgiven, they will continue in their calling if they so desire, and the hierarchy will try to ignore them. It's like that Ghandi quote, where first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win, or something like that....!

Here's hoping they win, eventually.
