The Catholic Reverend Sister allegedly renounced her religious profession, abandoning her oath of chastity to marry a Police officer
The reverend sister is being applauded for her bravery in accepting the truth about her inability to live without a man. Bravo to her.
She decided on marriage as what will suit her God better and make her to seve Him better, rather than living in sin and strong denial.
In Roman Catholic church, when it comes to ordaining Reverend sister’s, there is what we call vows which are in two stages.
1. Temporary vows
At the conclusion of this time of prayer, study and community life, the novice professes temporary vows, commonly called first vows, which are canonically binding for a particular length of time, often ranging from one to three years. During this time, the sisters engage in ministry and live in community. At the end of this period, the vows can be renewed.
2. Perpetual vows, commonly called final vows, are professed anytime three to nine years after temporary vows. The time may vary according to the tradition of the community. Perpetual vows are professed for life.
Not withstanding, you can still leave if need be.
The Reverend sister was factual to herself, this led her to leave her convent vow and enter into another vow of getting married. She can still serve her Creator even as a married woman and even holler.
Rather than incur the wrath of God sleeping around, it was better for her to leave the convent and serve her God while in Holy matrimony. Her decision is worthy of emulation.
It s better and holier to be married and serve God rather than be single and commit atrocities in the House of God.
