Confession 149: not accepting legitimate correction If a nun, when legitimately corrected by the nuns, says, ‘I won’t practice this training rule until I’ve questioned a nun who is an expert on the Monastic Law,’ she commits an offense entailing confession. A nun who is training should understand, should question, should enquire. This is the proper procedure.
