The Nuns agreed to belong to an organization ruled in a monarchial  fashion by a top man and administered by his male agents.  Their agreement to part of the Roman Catholic Church was not forced on them.  It was part of their belief system.  They trained not as Presbyterian or Lutheran Nuns but as Roman Catholic.  They vowed faithfulness not to the magisterium of the Episcopal Church but to the Roman Catholic.  That system has a very clearly defined and easily understood set of rules.  These rules are not secret and they are not imposed on adherents by force.  The key concept being that the Pope, his Cardinals, Archbishops and Bishops are the teachers of the Roman Catholic church and that these persons are entrusted with the duty and responsibility to teach and to protect the universally accepted doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church.  When the Nuns and their leaders were accepted into the Order of the Church they willingly and publicly accepted this system, its procedures and the oversight of the Magisterial hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church.  Now, in this last days, this magisterial hierarchy has examined the leadership of the Nuns and found it lacking.  The Pope and his agents have conducted an open, transparent and public examination of the Leadership Conference and published its findings openly with a recommendation that the Leadership Conference accept a more direct management by a trio of bishops appointed by the President (Pope) of their organization.  To this writer, the intention here is to right any wrongs and foster a more collegial decision-making process which by definition will be consonant with the Pope and the whole Church.  In conclusion, this writer is not proposing that the Process, procedures or organizational structure of the Roman Catholic Church is the only right or good one.  However, when a nun or any other person freely joins such an organization and additionally seeks to be a Nun- teacher of that organization then they should abide by the rules of oversight.  Granted, that his Holiness and the bishops have invited a response, however, in the end, the nuns must decide if they will remain in the organization they love or chose to become members of one of the many Protestant organizations.  However, it will be intellectually impossible to remain a Roman Catholic Nun in rebellion against the Church.  Why?  Because of their vows.
