If Absolution is used to Interrupt the action of an event that puts the event into play, does the event stay in the province and able to be used on later turns?
If Absolution is used to Interrupt the Open action of The New Order, does The New Order destory the province? If not, does The New Order stay in the province and able to used on later turns?

An Absolution'd Event is discarded. As stated under Events: Events in Provinces are discarded once an ability on them is used, unless the ability puts the Event itself into play.
The destruction of the province is an effect of The New Order's action, and is negated by Absolution.
