They also made a vow of poverty which means that while technically they may own the property their right to dispose of the property is dependent on the interpretation of their superiors (aka the bishop)
.
Did they also make a vow
to abandon their Faith when given the command to do so by their superior?
What's that vow called, the vow of apostasy?

I knew a lifelong faithful nun who was faced with making enormous changes in 1969, when she was about 58 years old, and went to ask family members if she was wrong to be considering leaving her convent. She had spent about 40 years in missionary work with the Victory Knoll Sisters, working in remote places like Calexico near the Mexico border, teaching catechism, caring for the sick, and being a model of Our Lady to the poor. Her superior wanted her to get rid of her habit, and go out into the world looking for a job.
