I don't comment often on the NCR pages, and in the few times that I have, I never commented on the visitation of the US women religious, much less said "You go for it, girl!".  If you're going to attribute a quote to someone, please be sure you attribute it to the right person.

You seem to take a rather dim view of what is written in the Order's own Constitution.  That's too bad because nothing can change what's there, as Festing will soon find out.  As a "First Class" Knight in Perpetual Vows, he is, in fact, bound by the Order's own Code - see Article 62, The Vow of Obedience - to "obey the Holy Father ..." That alone is enough for me to believe that Festing will not come out of this unscathed, one way or the other.
