Did Burke take the profession of vows of a transgendered nun? What do you think of that?

I think I want to hear more of the story. Vows of chastity, poverty, etc are open to any lay person. He may have made himself a eunuch, but he can still repent of his perversion and chastity is the only option now.

I won't deny it sounds bad, but I also doubt it is being portrayed honestly given the agenda of the publication.

I in no way condone what has been done (it is beyond words), but assuming this man was repentant of his horrible crime, where is a repentant man with a female anatomy to go? I find it inconceivable that anyone's answer to that would be an active women's religious order. Actually, with the exception of capital punishment I can't think of an acceptable solution.
