Vatican’s Meddling in Austrian Convent Exposes Conciliar Sect’s Rot

EWTN News reports on the conflict between three elderly Augustinian nuns (ages 81-88) and their religious superior, Fr. Markus Grasl of Reichersberg Abbey. After being forcibly relocated from Goldenstein Monastery to a nursing home in December 2023, the sisters returned to their convent in September 2025 with public support. Grasl’s compromise offer – permitting their stay conditional upon ending media contact, dismissing lawyers, and accepting nursing home registration – was rejected. The case now heads to Rome for resolution.
