Hi, Garret —
When a nun or priest is teaching or in
an assignment outside of their community, they are governed by the same
contract as the rest of the staff.
If a teacher is not performing to expected standards, the administration
would inform them of the fact and they would be discharged or not rehired.
Their religious superior or bishop would also be notified so that they
can ascertain the issue and find a more suitable assignment.
When a religious sister or nun leaves their community, they cease
being a nun.
It is different for a priest because of the sacrament
of Holy Orders, which cannot be taken away, puts a permanent character on the soul, similar
to Baptism.
