Arlington Carmelite Nuns Kick Out Bishop, Adopt Roman Rite, Conncect To Viganò

The Mother Prioress and the Chapter of the Monastery of the Most Holy Trinity in Arlington, Texas, issued an August 18 statement.

• The statement speaks of unprecedented interference, intimidation, aggression, private and public humiliation, and spiritual manipulation by Fort Worth Bishop Michael Olson.

• Olson shouts at the nuns in private and in public and violates their enclosure through his officials.

• The Chapter expresses its complete confidence in the personal and moral integrity of its Mother Prioress.

• The nuns understand that Olson has the power to influence the outcome of their appeals “beyond anything we can match.”

• The nuns say that they no longer recognise Olson's authority and can have no further relations with him.

• Olson and his officials are banned from entering the convent or having any contact with the nuns.

• These measures will remain in place until Olson repents, personally apologises to the nuns and agrees to make appropriate public reparation.

• The Chapter has also decided to celebrate Mass, the Divine Office and all sacraments and other rites according to the original Discalced Carmelite usages.

• This is called a positive recognition that has developed in the community over time.

• They quote Benedict XVI (7 July 2007), “What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden or even considered harmful.”

In addition to their text, the nuns released a second statement from Archbishop Carlo Viganò, asking to support them.

Arlington Carmelites stated they “no longer recognize authority” of Bp. Olson who then warned the nuns possibly “incurred...excommunication.” Viganò has defended the nuns for resisting a “betrayal of ecclesiastical authority.”

Mother Teresa Gerlach had been removed by Bishop Michael Olson but now has affirmed that she and the convent no longer recognize his authority, due to the 'abuse to which he has subjected us.'

Good for the nuns. I hope more in the USA (priests,nuns,sisters,monks,friars) and elsewhere who are likewise persecuted by Pope Francis and his trolls do likewise.

That's the only reason the bishop would want to get his grubby nads on the nuns property, to exploit it for the millions it could be worth per year, just like apostate heretic homo-loving Pope Francis and company n Italy also elsewhere, shutting down convents and grabbing up the property yo sell it for huge profit.

The faithful should beat them to the punch and purchase the properties and give them to the nuns, or keep them for their own uses, such as giving to new traditional religious Orders, or establishing a traditional Catholic school, nursing home or whatever independant of the Bergoglian bishop.

on the above, I meant "grubby hands" on the first line. Result of typing too fast 🤪

It is never a good or beneficial thing to reject the lawful authority of Holy Mother Church as it is exercised under the auspices of those so appointed to lead her, regardless of the circumstances or what may appear to be justifiable situations. The great and holy Saint Padre Pio and Saint Teresa of Ávila, Doctor of the Church, taught us that, and demonstrated it best with their own example. May …More
It is never a good or beneficial thing to reject the lawful authority of Holy Mother Church as it is exercised under the auspices of those so appointed to lead her, regardless of the circumstances or what may appear to be justifiable situations. The great and holy Saint Padre Pio and Saint Teresa of Ávila, Doctor of the Church, taught us that, and demonstrated it best with their own example. May these Daughters of Carmel repent of their foolhardiness and rebellion and return to the sure safety of obedience and submission to the Church, which is the ancient hallmark of their venerable Order, and where there is recourse to the Blessed One, Most Holy. Only then will all of Heaven stand at their side to defend their cause and fight for them, IF their cause is, in fact, just and righteous.

@SonoftheChurch -Everyone else here supports the good nuns, and they have a tidal wave of support among the faithful in Texas, and across the country.

@SonoftheChurch -Everyone else here supports the good nuns, and they have a tidal wave of support among the faithful in Texas, and across the country. No one supports the bishop, and his directives from the corrupt, homo-invested Vatican of Pope Francis, who has once again yesterday gone out of his way to cause scandal in the Church by appointing an Argentinian businessman who is as degenerate and corrupt as Hunter Biden, to high office in a Vatican agency, a man who allows for a brothel in one of his buildings in Argentina.
The good sisters are 100% correct to cut ties with a corrupt bishop following the directives of such a Vatican, and to seek guidance and help from Archbishop Vigano, and the organization he and his assistants and collaborators
have established, which is already helping re-establish traditional monasteries and convents of contemplative nuns in Italy and elsewhere that Bergoglio and company closed down to grab the valuable property.
Everyone know that the nuns are right, and the Vatican and this bishop's only reasoning, is to destroy another community of tradition, making up whatever lies and falsehoods, slander and calumny to discredit the nuns who now have returned entirely to the Catholic Faith and tradition with the traditional Roman Rite.
Pope Francis, his bishops and his agenda are totally discredited in much of the world.... many faithful Catholics, in many countries no longer pay him or his people any obedience or loyalty because they know that these people are bent on destroying the traditions of the CAtholic Faith, and creating a new "Synodal Church" which has no tradition, dogma or even rules.
It is unfortunate, and a violation of valid judgement considering his evil agenda and that of the small number of bishops willing to implement his agenda, such as this Bishop Olson , that you continue to pontificate about loyalty to a man-possibly invalidly elected to the papacy, who is neither a "Father" to his faithful, and certainly not "Holy"......not someone who would receive in audience and kiss the hand of a Trans prostitute in Rome, nor to mourn a recently deceased TRANS activist in Italy last week, nor pro-sodomy or pro-abortion politicians or activists.

SonoftheBergoglianchurch your analogy exemplifying obedience of Saints to Mother Church against the nuns is false. In contrary, intellectual honesty in researching today's crisis for true preception of error gravity may be based on similarity to arianism.

SonoftheBergoglianchurch your analogy exemplifying obedience of Saints to Mother Church against the nuns is false. In contrary, intellectual honesty in researching today's crisis for true preception of error gravity may be based on similarity to arianism. It is St Athanasius the champion saint of resistance who is suited to follow and compare with the act of the nuns and Abp Vigano etc. The brave saint who incurred excommunication and exiled due to acts in opposition to world and corrupted heretical Churchmen occupying and destroying the Church. He deeply suffered for Credo of true Catholic Faith be professed at each Mass. Therefore anyone following St Athanasius accordingly to his acts by resisting much more corrupted (see opinions prof. Rao, Seifert and Ferrara) Bergoglian global regime may become a Saint and not inversely a rebel you falsely insinuate... Sophistry will not allow for conforming one's thoughts to reality but very often to perverted ideology...

Not sure it is done out of conviction. Seems to be more done out of convenience.
Kenjiro M. Yoshimori
NO, IT WAS DONE OUT OF CONVICTION. THEY WERE GOING TO SWITCH OVER TO THE LATIN MASS ANYWAY, REGARDLESS OF BERGOGLIO AND HIS HOMO TROLLS LIKE OLSON, ETC.

God bless these great nuns for their courage. They made the right choice seeking help for the great Archbishop Vigano. Down with Bishop Olson, the Bergoglio Vatican and Pope Francis.
