This is the latest development in an extraordinarily public 18-month fight between Arlington nuns and Fort Worth Bishop Michael Olson.
Fort Worth Bishop Michael Olson called a group of cloistered Arlington nuns “scandalous" in a public letter published this week. Olson, right, warned members of his diocese that supporting the nuns — either by participating in sacraments or providing them financial assistance — would amount to “scandalous disobedience and disunity.
“Sadly, the deliberate and contumacious actions of Mother Teresa Agnes and the other members of the Community have taken them further down the path of disobedience to and disunity with the Church and with their own religious Order that they began to embark on so many months ago,” the bishop wrote.fight between the nuns and Olson
that has played out in dueling statements, civil court and remarkable headlines. It began in April 2023 when the bishop accused Gerlach, the monastery’s head nun, of violating her vow of chastity with a priest., accusing Olson of invading the sisters’ privacy and overstepping his authority. The nuns said Olson and other diocese leaders stormed into the monastery, interrogated the nuns for hours, seized their computers and a phone and blocked priests from conducting Mass for them.
