They can stay if they stop doing the thing that enabled them to stay in the first place.

The fact that their choice is incomprehensible to those in charge speaks volumes.

They should continue living the way they like and keep posting on social media, if that's what they want.

Such a weird condition, like why? Don't you actually want positive PR for the church? Or do you just want to silence them so you can send them away again?

You just have to assume it's the latter. Like they're going to torture these women in inventive ways to get them to leave voluntarily and they don't want them to be able to bring attention to it.

"Before I die in that old people's home, I would rather go to a meadow and enter eternity that way," said Sister Bernadette."

I hear you.

I don't understand how you basically have people spen their entire lives dedicated to something and think them leaving ever will be an option in their brains. If id dedicated my life to maintaining an area and effectively everyone I knew was in that place I'd also want to stay there until I die.
