People are beginning to wonder if what’s happening in Arlington, Texas is an Inquisition or a Holy War. From a monastery in Arlington to the Ft. Worth diocese Ft. Worth the controversy continues.
The Monastery of The Most Holy Trinity, situated on 72 lush, wooded acres near South Bowen Road and West Sublett Road, has for all appearance maintained a secluded and peaceful existence since it was established in 1958.
The cloistered Order of Discalced Carmelite Nuns, with its origins dating back to 1562, follows a tradition of dedicating most of their day to silent prayer.
In April things changed. Bishop Michael Olson who heads up the Ft. Worth diocese started an aggressive and public investigation of the nuns. And accused the ailing Reverend Mother Teresa Gerlach of breaking her vows.
Police investigation
Arlington police have launched an investigation into Fort Worth Bishop Olson’s behavior, prompted by allegations of abuse.
Olson is demanding the police investigate the nuns for using cannabis products.
