Wow!  WHAT exactly was the threat here?  A clerical stole in the "wrong" hands presented an imminent danger to a male ego?  A "defiant" (and by the way that is taken as a compliment by many) woman's presence threatened to upset Monsignor Snowflake's delicate sense of decorum?
Those who are at peace with God and themselves, who have learned not to take their own egos so seriously, will view dissent as an opportunity for growth and learning, not a threat that requires a call to local security.
