What she did do, was refuse to attend the weddings of CATHOLICS who are marrying OUTSIDE the Church, which is not allowed.

How do you know that these people didn't have a dispensation from form from their local bishop?

These happen all the time, you know. The Protestant minister is empowered to be the official witness; the marriage is sacramental and not OUTSIDE the Church at all.

True, but I'm assuming she knew there was no dispensation.
