She was free to do whatever she wanted, just like the rest of us

she was not free to marry -- she was a nun. If "the rest of us" take up monastic vows we would not be able to marry without discharging them either. Your religion started in fornication.

Jesus was a fornicator? Who knew?

Your religion endorses it. Pederast priests who are never dealt with. Homosexuality within the priesthood. Annulments.

Don't whine at me about my *religion*.

I'll ask you the same questions I asked someone else....

Suppose someone made a satanist vow before becoming a Christian? Would you demand they remain a faithful satanist their entire lives simply because they took an oath or made a vow?

And of course, expecting the worst since it seems to be served up with regular predictability, the point is about making and breaking vows not about any comparisons between the two groups.

But I do not trust that someone will not try to make it about that to avoid answering the real question, which is, whether you would condemn someone for breaking a satanist vow or demand that they be held in bondage to that vow their entire lives? After all, a vow is a vow.
