You assume she didn't think about the potential conflict of values. Do you have any reason to say that? Are there any writings or speeches of hers you can cite that show that she didn't? It's entirely possible that she went through the same evaluation of choices that those you say you admire made but decided differently. You don't know. I don't know. You assume she didn't. I make no assumption, but ask for proof. BTW, you and I differ substantially on our objects of admiration. You admire those Catholic clergy who decide the Church is wrong but decide to stay in it and deny papal authority, in direct violation of their vows. I save my admiration for those who, when they decide the Church is wrong, leave the clergy and devote themselves to changing the Church from the outside. I can admire that. I can't admire those who say I want to enjoy all the benefits of being a priest but don't want to accept the demands I agreed to when I joined the priesthood. It's like married men who have affairs. They want the good parts of being married, but they don't want to pay the price of being married. Don't want to comply with those parts of their vows that interfere with what they would like to do. It's not a trait I admire either in married men or in clergy.
