Contemplative Life Subverted: Fort Worth Carmelites and Conciliar Apostasy
Catholic News Agency reports that “Bishop” Michael Olson of the Diocese of Fort Worth has announced a new Discalced Carmelite monastery, authorized by the Vatican’s Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life. This follows the suppression of a previous monastery after its prioress was accused of sexual misconduct with a priest, leading the nuns to join the Society of St. Pius X. Olson called the new foundation “a moment of extraordinary grace,” emphasizing its role in “reparation of sin” through contemplation. The nuns come from Lake Elmo, Minnesota, with land donated by diocesan faithful. The bishop prohibits social media use by the nuns, citing its dangers to religious life. The article frames this as spiritual renewal after scandal, omitting any doctrinal examination of the communities involved.
