Two former Carmelite nuns who staged a high-profile demonstration outside St. Peter's Square on June 9 were justifiably expelled from their convent, according to the bishop of the diocese in which the convent is located.Bishop Franceso Brugnaro of Camerino-San Severino Marche told reporters that he knew and understood the reasons why the two religious “were legitimately dismissed from the Carmelite nuns’ convent in January 2007.”
He declined to provide details.
