Raczej "i dążył do rozwiązania zakonu"
Laurence Bonaventure Sheil, O.F.M. +1.III.1872
http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A050199b.htmWith Mary its first member and Superior the society was founded at Penola on 19 March 1866 with the approval of Bishop Sheil. By then she was spelling her surname MacKillop. The Sisterhood spread to Adelaide and other parts of South Australia, and increased rapidly in membership but ran into difficulties. Tenison-Woods had become director of Catholic schools and conflicted with some of the clergy over educational matters. One priest with influence over the bishop declared publicly he would ruin the director through the Sisterhood. The result was that Mary was excommunicated by Bishop Sheil on 22 September 1871 for alleged insubordination; most of the schools were closed and the Sisterhood almost disbanded. The excommunication was removed on 21 February 1872 by order of the bishop nine days before he died.
Tu jest "ciekawsze"

Some Bishops and priests could not understand
the Sisters’ way of life and tried to have them
change it. Mary believed that God was calling
her to live according to the rule of life she had
adopted when she made her vows and felt she
could not change. Consequently Bishop Sheil
excommunicated her in 1871 from the Church
and tried to disband the sisters. He soon
regretted his action, removed the sentence
after fi ve months and allowed the sisters to
reassemble and resume their good work.
Bo z prawnego punktu widzenia - biskup miał by rację. (ale to oczywista nieprawda...)
Za to tu - jest wytłumaczone o co chodzi:
http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A060129b.htmDespite initial high expectations, Sheil was not a success as bishop. He spent less than two years of his episcopate in Adelaide: he travelled to Rome and Ireland from April 1867 to December 1868 and from October 1869 to February 1871 to recruit clergy and to attend the Vatican Council, and carried out intercolonial visitations in 1869 and 1871. These absences and his poor health left the diocese virtually leaderless and resulted in bitter clerical administrative factionalism and lay disunity. The most serious and dramatic result was his precipitous and uncanonical excommunication of Mother MacKillop, the temporary disbanding of her congregation in September 1871 and the subsequent appointment, after his death, of an Apostolic Commission to investigate diocesan affairs.
