Battling the Bishop
In a statement published Saturday, the nuns said the Vatican issued the decree without their knowledge or consent and that it could threaten individual nuns, the integrity of the monastery and its assets.
“We are not ‘things’ to be traded or given away in back-room deals, but women vowed to the exclusive love and service of Almighty God,” the nuns wrote.
This is the latest development in a bitter and extraordinarily public battle between the nuns and Fort Worth Bishop Michael Olson that has played out in dueling statements and in civil court.
In June the bishop accused the head nun of violating her vow of chastity with a priest years ago and launched an investigation.
The nuns accused Bishop Olson of overstepping his authority, claiming invasion of privacy and harassment. In court they claimed he had hours-long interrogations and seized computers and other property. The nuns were not allowed to have services and the bishop forbid them form their normal religious practices.
Financial Motives
The courtroom became a battleground where allegations flew, ranging from personal impropriety to claims of drug use within the monastery. Amidst these contentious proceedings, questions arose regarding the bishop’s motives and the potential financial interests at play.
