Sister expelled from the Convent, the Pope rejects her appeal, what did she do?

"After careful study, the Holy Father has decided to reject his request".

The Vatican did not respond to the appeal of a Dominican from Pontcallec (Morbihan), mother Marie Ferréol (born Sabine Baudin de la Valette), who had turned to Pope Francis after his brutal dismissal, without explanation, from the Dominicans of the Holy Spirit.

The announcement of this fine, as rare as it is drastic, reached the applicant on Friday 18 June and was applied on the following Monday, 21 June.

It was the father of the Benedictine abbey of Notre-Dame de Randol, in Puy-de-Dôme, where the nun has lived since January, who delivered the letter to her.

Dated 2 June, signed by the deputy of the Secretariat of State (a sort of Vatican Minister of the Interior), Edgar Peña Parra, laconically confirmed the expulsion requested by the bishop Marc Ouellet, one of the most influential cardinals members of the Roman curia, who had previously sent a relative of his, Jean-Charles Nault, abbot of Saint-Wandrille, in Normandy, for an "inspection" of the Dominicans.

Then Cardinal Ouellet himself signed a decree of definitive dismissal of the nun on April 22 (although he was not in charge of Pontcallec-type communities, but prefect of the Congregation for Bishops).

At the moment it is not known why the nun was expelled. Le Monde, one of the most important French newspapers, met her and found that the nun lost 10 kilograms in a few weeks and her hair has turned all white. The nun was prevented from all community life and it is a very rare sanction, in the world every year there are fewer than 10.

The nun was expelled from the convent where she had lived for 34 years. There is a suspicion that the "decree of escalustration" is a consequence of being a "rival" of a sister close to the prefect of the Congregation of Bishops. Reference is made to unspecified rivalries over theological disputes.
