Francis Commands Visitation At Famous Old Rite Carmelite Nuns

The Roman Rite Carmelite monastery in Fairfield, Pennsylvania, Harrisburg Diocese, will be under Apostolic Visitation during September 25–28.

The monastery was founded in July 2019 and counts 25 nuns. It is the fourth foundation of the flourishing Carmelites of Valparaiso, Nebraska.

In a press release, the nuns who live in closure dedicated to prayer alone, ask for prayers calling the visitation a “stressful trial.”

The nuns’ chaplain is Father Maximilian Mary Dean, a former member of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate who were de facto dissolved by Francis after an Apostolic Visitation.

Paus Franciscus is een holocaust begonnen tegen de Traditionele Rooms Katholieken, de vernietiging van de Tridentijnse Heilige Mis en alle priesters en gelovigen die het Universele Tridentijnse Rooms Katholieke geloof van voor het Tweede Vaticaanse Concilie belijden. Paus Franciscus begaat een misdaad tegen de mensheid en tegen God. Maar gelukkig is er Pius X broederschap die een veilige haven biedt …More

Let us pray for these wonderful women!!! May St. Michael the Archangel keep them safe and satan and his minons far away... Francis is a destroyer of Tradition.... This is part of the plan to reduce the Church into a humanistic institution.... God have mercy on his soul.

Just say NO -- refuse to comply with all that is NOT truly part of Catholic Tradition. Stand firm! Our Lord will back you and find a way!

Philly was just the start. The Vatican war on contemplative cloisters is ongoing. None are safe.

How is Philly the start? The JMJ nuns walked out on Philly leaving 1 nun. You can't have a monastery of 1 nun. There is a flourishing contemplative monastery near me that I visit and they have a visitation regularly, I think about every 3 years. I know of another monastery in the state that was down to a few nuns and later, after it was closed, we found out that conditions were horrible and there …More

I know of another monastery in the state that was down to a few nuns and later, after it was closed, we found out that conditions were horrible and there was neglect but the superior wouldn't the nuns go to another monastery. Nuns are human like the rest of us. They have problems, they age, they die, etc. There reaction is such that it seems to me they are hiding something.

Let's not fail to pray for them during this difficult time!

The Council is a Super-Council - it is almost St Vatican Two, Rome's replacement for the Holy Spirit.

The Council is like the Church it’s all or nothing. The Council is not a supermarket.

I thought monasteries had visitations, sort of like a physical, at regular intervals. This is really no one's business and part of the internal affairs of the monastery. I'm sure they have problems like everyone else in the world. I know a monastery near me that has a visitation every 3 years and they welcome the opportunity to be able to improve and deal with things.

I hope they'll survive the Apostatic Desolation thing.

We have already seen what has happened to others like it.
They do it with full intent.

I doubt it will be Cardinal Sydney Poitier. If it was, this would be a non issue. The Carmelite nuns would prepare a fantastic 4-day menu loaded with delicacies appropriately called "soul food" :D After 12 solid feasts like that, plus snacks in between, Cardinal Poitier would leave a few pounds heavier and with full confidence in the nuns' future.

I can see this happening to every community that doesn’t use the Novus ordo. I don’t have any knowledge of who owns this monastery, or any of the others, but unless the local community owns the property, they can be kicked out. The fact that Trad communities are legal owners of very few of the properties they occupy is their greatest disadvantage. It is the advantage of the SSPX, though.
