Even if one of them was "violating their vow of chastity" shutting down the entire place and confiscating their equipment just seems like trying to cover up something or wanting the property for another use and making up an excuse.
The good thing about this story, is that the nuns are going through the civil court process. It amazes me that priests who commit pedophilia are somehow immune from legal channels, and only “punished” by the church.
@@afiaakos6937 Sorry but you are absolutely wrong there. Most pedo priests are living in luxury with no consequences at all. The catholic church just moves them. Still don't know why anyone allows their child near a priest. The sooner religion dies the better.
Nuns can be cunning and sly and falsely accuse others when it suits their needs. I had worked at a school run by nuns. The school recently offered an unreserved apology to ex-students after they said that 2 male teachers had walked into the change rooms when they were changing about 30 years previous. The school thought it would be noble to offer the apology, accept the ex-students word and sell out the staff. A cover up needed to take place at the school so the leaders put in false reports about me so I would take the blame. I wrote a blog about my experience but if I list the title in a youtube comment it the comment gets deleted.

@@iMatti00 yes I agree, with you. This sensual beautiful woman has we hope, had great awesome sex. It is her business. My husband is a handsome demanding lover. The b.......ard wants me almost every night!!! I cant walk some days!
The accusation of "power and greed" against the bishop and the 1500 + some odd petition signers almost sounds like a political ploy. I want to know who the original petitioners are. Perhaps that some wealthy developer/real estate types, who may or may not be parishioners are after their land and there's something in it for the bishop. Maybe the nuns are hearing accusations against the bishop from the women who come to them, and have notified the Pope? Maybe one of the nuns turned down the bishop's advances? I dunno. But this situation sure does stink. I'm glad the nuns are fighting back. And I'm glad they are using a civil lawyer to do so instead of relying on the Church's none-too-tender internal traditions to defend them. Too many men in the Catholic Church have really bad attitudes toward women and use their lofty positions to persecute and harass us. And, as we all know, evildoers will often project their corruption onto others to escape accountability.
It is illegal to question or have them sign any kind of document under anesthesia or who is on heavy pain killers! Once a patient is given the medication to "relax" them before the surgery there are no more documents or pertinent questions at that point until they are fully recovered and on their feet! This is ridiculous. I know this because I was a surgical nurse!
My husband told me I was raving about a certain restaurant to a nurse while I was coming out of anesthesia. I don’t remember that at all and I would NEVER have recommended that restaurant under normal circumstances because I got food poisoning there! Anesthesia makes you say crazy things!
It can't be illegal in ecclesiastical investigations as they are not conducted under the rule of law. However showing that the Mother Superior was made to sign documents while under the post-operative effects of anaesthetic CAN be introduced as evidence of bad-faith (😏) behaviour and speak towards bad character on the part of the Bishop.
The gall of the Bishop to take these actions against a NUN! Where was he when the priests were molesting children? The hypocrisy of this guy is preposterous! What is he doing about the priest that was involved in the alleged affair!?! He also took a vow of chastity!!! UNBELIEVABLE! HE IS PURE EVIL!!! 😡😡😡
Exactly! He accuses her of breaking celibacy but doesn't even know the name of the supposed priest who's involved? Where's the investigation and interrogation of him?? It sounds to me like he's making this up in retaliation against them for whatever he is secretly angry with them about. He sounds like a manipulative, passive-aggressive control freak to me.
Sounds like the bishop didn’t get something he wanted and is punishing them. I’d bet there was proof of his corruption on those devices he took from them.
Based on my experience with surgery she was likely on a strong mixture of tranquilizers, opiates, and/or ketamine. Someone on that mixture is in no state to have a sensical conversation, much less be interrogated, and is extremely susceptible to suggestion. This is why videos of people messing with loved ones after wisdom tooth removal are so popular.
Why would someone even try to have a reliable conversation with someone coming out of anesthesia? Church aside if anyone tried to use such a conversation in a court of law it better be illegal or something is wrong with our courts.
I’m not catholic or religious but what’s happening to these women is absolutely disgusting. I wish them the best and hope their confession and mass are reinstated.
This situation is very odd. Usually Bishops like to keep accusations like that under wraps. For him to make such public accusations makes me wonder if he wants their property. The Diocese might be doing poorly financially and he is looking to sell or acquire more real estate. The Bishop's actions are creating more scandal than an affair ever would.
Most likely either they want the buns property to sell for $$$$$$$$$ or the nuns are being targeted for teaching correct doctrine and holding onto teaching as it has been passed down. Maybe even both scenarios.
Greetings from Ireland. Does anyone have the link to the petition? This sounds like a power trip by the bishop. I sincerely hope these nuns win their case. Good to see the nuns are being supported by the local community. Sounds like a setup to me.
When you sue someone in the US, you file a petition with the court, which is the basis of your lawsuit. It's not the same as a signature gathering petition. Law has its own vocabulary. I looked it up for you.
Wait, what? I want to know more about this. What was the corruption about? Who was perpetrating the corruption? Was it within the convent walls or outside influences?
@@TheJwbooth I’m not in a place to give details because of my serious health issues, but had significant long term exposure to nuns and priests including my sister. There were issues in the convent, with abusive priests, and with the hierarchy. I can no longer associate with the Catholic Church but absolutely believe these nuns. The risk they are taking is huge.
@@isaiah3872 it's more than one bishop. The entire structure and system is tainted and protects deviants and always has. One of a plethora of reasons many are leaving and the faith is dying a slow death since it cannot attract new constituents.
Taking away a place of worship where they have 50 people go to on a daily schedule is just beyond horrible. Only a person with a blackened soul would keep a place of worship closed over one thing and punish so many more.
My thoughts as well, if they answer to Francis what has he to say about it. Could be controlled opersition wouldn't he have to have Francis consent? Don't trust any of them they are not who they pretend to be they worship Satan not GOD almighty! fake evil 🤢 frauds .
What is weird is that so many people are being punished for the alleged actions of a single nun. It is possible that the Reverend Mother said false things when she was medicated. It is possible the priest pressured this nun. I don't know what happened but the whole thing is very bizarre.
@@luilu9233 he would need to be told about this? Has no one said anything yet? Is there a long distance lag when it comes to messaging him about this? I feel like someone would have said something by now? Strange. What will it take?🫤
I think it's interesting that they're only suing for 1 million, considering that other lawsuits claiming emotional/psychological distress have sued for a lot more....
🌸 absolutely disgusting that he has made up lies and shut down their convent She’s disabled also OMG, lady has proof of having medical procedures at same time they claim she did that Bishop is PURE EVIL !
Sounds like a property and financial grab by the bishop. This needs investigating. Closing a monastery over a single rumor is highly suspect. What is the punishment to the so-called Priest that broke his vows? Was there a hearing? I doubt it. Something smells fishy with this situation, and the stink starts at the head, with the Bishop.
Trinity River. Look at where the property is. Look all around that area. Somebody wants that property. Look at the nuns property. It's a large property. Dig deeper.
Something is wrong with this bishop. These actions are absurd. Everybody knows. Common sense tells me others must get involved and investigate this man.
Several questions : If someone supposedly witnessed this nun saying something about an affair, was this when she was either just going under after being given anesthesia, or as she was just waking back up? Because people can be somewhat delirious under those circumstances. She could've been thinking back to someone she dated before she even became a nun - and that person may have been a male priest. Did somebody within the church hierarchy molest this nun when she was partially incapacitated right after her surgery, and they are covering it up by accusing her of willingly having an affair? Was the bishop himself caught doing something sexually inappropriate, and someone within that order of nuns was going to turn him in, and this is how he retaliated?
Sounds like a control issue going on with the bishop. The nuns don't answer to this bishop but to Rome. I pray God helps the sisters and the bishop with his issues. Totus Tuss
Even if she was guilty of breaking her vow of chastity, how is it that priests can Rape or molest little boys and young children, and all they do is get moved from one church to another! Yet he's shutting down their monastery for a supposed vow broken! Ridiculous!
They're all the same. They're a bunch of evils. Indeed, there are nuns who become pregnant and secretly give birth in far away places or they result to aboortion.
As a Catholic, I am appalled (on so many levels). Shutting down a convent for what is allegedly a consensual adult relationship (which she denies) but continuing to ignore abusive priests is disgusting. What is happening to the priest ( or any of them whether involved in gay relationships or peedo abuse)? Satan is rampant in our beloved church.
That's the story right there. It's a large property in a desirable area. The Trinity River area. There are people who would pay a large sum of money for that property in order to develop it. In order to sell it, he has to get rid of the nuns. Accusing one of the nuns of a sexual affair is one way to get rid of them. Dig deeper. There was a similar story 2 weeks ago about this Bishop and the nuns. It's the property. Look at the area all around the nuns property. It's about their property. It is a very valuable piece of real estate.
@@INDREAMSBEGINSRESPONSIBILITIESGod forbids bishops to marry and they have to be celibate. In Europe, priests aren’t allowed to marry and should be celibate(hence there is a lack of priests in catholic Europe churches lol). It is not God who appointed these Bishops and who decides what the Bishop can do. It is the humans themselves. Do you think God would be proud of this Bishop? Seriously? It seems you don’t know God at all
@@INDREAMSBEGINSRESPONSIBILITIES Since when does God "let" humans commit sin? God has given human beings the free will to commit our own mistakes or to follow his commandments, what don't you understand about that?
lol. I was wondering too, but then realize she has a feeding tube. Fat guys like the bishop usually have no qualms about pulling bs out of their arrse.
This would have been covered up had the nuns tried to get justice within the church. I am glad they spoke out and seek justice outside the church. Let them speak and not be silenced. I wonder what secrets they have hidden all these years. I would hope that they might write a book and expose how they are treated by "the holy men".
It’s about time that men who run the Catholic Church were held ACCOUNTABLE in court. I hope this happens! It’s unprecedented and will bring help and recourse to many!
WHEN YOU ARE SO READY TO ACCUSE OTHERS YOU AR DOING WHAT SATAN IS KNOWN FOR: SATAN IS THE ACCUSER- BISHOP FAILS TO SEE HIS OWN SINS IN FRONT OF EVERYONE TO SEE- WHILE YOU POINT TO A PERSON WITH YOUR FINGER OF ACCUSATION THREE OTHER FINGERS ARE POINTING BACK AT YOU-LIKE THE LORD DOESNT KNOW THE EVIL DEEDS OF ALL OF US! PRAY FOR THE TRUTH OF THE HOLY SPIRIT- THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS BISHOP HARMS IS HIMSELF BY DENYING THESE WOMEN THE SACRAMENTS- EVERY COMMUNION MISSED- EVERY MASS NOT CELEBRATED EVERY RECONCILIATION DENIED WILL RISE IN FRONT OF GOD AND BEG MERCY- WOE TO THE SHEPERD THAT MISTREATS HIS FLOCK!!!
I’m very proud of the nuns for standing up to the bishop and suing him! I also agree with the other commenter who mentioned that some (not all) priests commit SA and never are punished and then bishops protect them and try to sweep things under the rug. It’s unfair and not right. Not in accordance to Gods teachings at all!!! Bless these nuns and the attorney helping them. I hope mass and sacraments become available soon.
The last time the church defended its bishops and priests, they were covering up the sexual molestation of its choir boys. When the church vehemently defends its bishops, we really ought to know by now there is something deeply corrupt going on.
Honestly, everyone knows people coming out of anesthesia say bizarre things they don't have control over and can't remember. How awful to target this woman who is obviously dealing with chronic medical issues.
Why were they even present to interrogate her as she was recovering from surgery? If she was still under the influence of anaesthesia, or her level of consciousness was affected by pain medication or sedation of any kind, she would not be considered legally capable of consent at that time. Wouldn't it follow that a legal interrogation also would not be appropriate or reliable at that time?
I agree- you see hallucinations! But if one were looking for a way to seize power and control and start an Anti Pope movement, this would be the perfect place to do it. Watch and Pray.
@@heidih3048 Catholics don't believe in consent. It's a domestic abuse-themed church. The nun committed the sin of adultery by being raped by a priest. In Catholic belief system, she should have fought him off to the death to avoid sin.
i'm immediately on the nuns side. The carmelite order is really old too, like very, very old. And the idea that this wheel-chair bound lady did this, it's beyond insane.
If they shut down EVERY diocese where a PRIEST was accused of sexual impropriety, there would be no Catholic Church in America! The hypocrisy, oh, the hypocrisy. That bishop needs to be shut down. What is HE hiding???😡
I agree It’s my belief that Priests should be able to marry It’s not nature for a man to go his whole life without having sex Men are not built that way These people are so hypocritical

@William Miller How do you know God told him rather than the devil deceiving him? You’d be surprised how easily the devil can tempt you. The devil tempts the ones with any level of faith
@condolcezza how do you know God really isnt the bad guy and the bible itself is the deception by the king of lies? Devil indeed could have decieved every level of faith since the beginning. The most evil of all plans. If you doubt one man of God claiming the hear his voice all may be suspect. And by definition Gods will is moral.

It's either a land grab, he wants the property (check the price of the land) or the reverend mother has something on the bishop and he is trying to hide it by using a rumor made while the reverend mother was under medication (not legal).
He wants their private information. These nuns receive donations from people who don't necessarily support the diocese. Unfortunately, the Civil lawsuit had to be dropped and now it's going under Cannon Law Court because the Pope gave the Bishop authority.
Absolutely not legal. Any a guilty person would make a move like that. It will take time of but Victory for them. I’m not religious but wrong is wrong.

This is NOT just a “theological dispute”. This is absolutely a legal dispute. If the one nun accused of breaking her vows was removed, that would have been a theological and internal issue. Shutting down the WHOLE chapel is an infringement of the 1st amendment constitutional rights of every Catholic in that community, and seizing property like phones and computers, where evidence to support the nun being innocent might have been able to be retrieved, and other physical seizures is against the 4th amendment. The Church is not a corporation, a lot of the funds for things a chapel needs comes from donations of the local community. Unless the diocese and the vatican agree to permanently shut down the chapel, no property should have been moved, as that is the purview of law enforcement, NOT the church, as the Vatican can’t prove that property is theirs and not property bought by the community or the nuns themselves. Now they’ve got a financial dispute on their hands as well. They should not have taken ANY action without law enforcement directly involved, not because a nun maybe did or maybe didn’t have sex, but because you’re tampering with data and files and physical resources, and now you can be accused of theft- no the Vatican does not own everything inside the chapel or that the nuns own. The nuns have every right to sue. Especially because shutting down a whole chapel over one person is unusual, the nuns could argue they didn’t have time to prepare for the sudden shut-down and property seizures. Even a landlord who owns a house or property has to give notice of an eviction or change of keys and locks. What the diocese did here is beyond sneaky and throwing their weight around. The bishop yes, but the whole diocese and Vatican are complacent for not having done anything to prevent this level of power-hungry overreach to happen.
You can tell this lawyer is very impressive. The way he eloquently communicates their case in a way that makes me, a non believer, not just sympathetic to their cause, but wanting to go fight for them, is commendable.
Yip, as an atheist I would normally not give a crap but this is an absolute disgrace, it is dodgy af. I take opioids & ketamine daily for chronic pain and wouldn’t want to be asked any legal questions, espesh after ketamine…let alone after full anaesthesia!! One has to wonder what the bishop is trying to deflect from! Take care, stay safe, with love from Scotland❤️🏴❤️
@@disavowalf3351 , While doped up in intensive care after emergency surgery for a heart infection that nearly killed me, the nurses asked me how I felt and I told them "I feel like Elvis is sitting on my chest". The nurses must have thought I was completely out of it from the meds and anesthesia, and I'm sure they got a chuckle out of it; but when they repeated this to my wife (who is also a nurse), she informed them that we had an 18 pound cat named Elvis who would lay on my chest while I watched TV! The point being that is easy to take something out of context, or manipulate someone into an "admission" of something that isn't true, when the person who said it is drugged and in pain, and the person doing the questioning has an agenda. (PS, I too am an atheist). Anyway, I have to wonder why this Bishop has it in for this group of nuns and their monastery. Could it be that he himself has been up to something untoward and the nuns have knowledge of it? The Catholic Church's track record has an awful lot of black marks on it.....
Strange that I don’t remember ANY action from the Catholic Church regarding literally thousands of sexual assault cases and yet they attack this woman instantly. All church’s should be investigated by authorities, not just internal reviews that are meant to suppress the truth.
So true ! The whole of the Catholic Church needs to be investigated for all the sins they have committed over the thousands of years that they have been murdering people, and hiding war criminals, hiding stollen money, jewels and artistry they were given by the Nazis that was stollen from the Jews, and let's not forget the millions of children they have abused, raped and sacrificed.
Notice third response, saying that basically the secular world cannot judge the matters of faith is that how they’re able to abuse children for all these years and never prosecute the priest or is this how they’re able to use offerings and gifts from poor people that they get in order to lose their corporate desires, and needs do you guys realize that the Catholic Church is invested in the Stock market for profit. Good for those nuns and more people need to come up against the abuse of power that is happening behind these doors
So he won't name the priest but wants to bully a disabled nun? What does The Church think this looks like to outsiders? I think this guy just wants their land. 🤔🤨
So Priests can sexually abuse children and be sent to a new parish with fresh kids, but if nuns are accused of having relations with an adult, they are punished?
I sincerely hope the sisters of victorious in their lawsuit. This bishop seems to be way out of control. I did not realize that bishops had this much power
I know nothing about this Bishop, but from the looks of him, he's clearly guilty of the deadly sin of gluttony, and per the nuns' lawsuit, his gluttonous habits aren't limited to food.
Lack of self control …. Fruit of the spirit…gluttony is right next to drunkenness in the Bible. He reminds me of a Pharisee, and Jesus said …take the log out of your own eye before you try to take a speck of sand out of someone else’s.👍 we all fall short and are sinners, but habitual sin, will lead to death and gluttony is no different than any other addiction. We must seek God for comfort.❤️🙏🙌🏼
I knew that before I heard one word of this report that this was a power play for the bishop to get the nuns home. The Church has done this before, but not so publicly.
My mother was a nun and she said the Carmelite nuns are the most obedient and committed of the order. Mom left the Franciscan Order after 9 years because she felt her commitment was over.
Your mother can only comment about her own obedience. She wasn't able to continue so she quit....some are not obedient YET do not quit but, do damage from within as Satan knows too how to penitrate from within and get doubt, revolt going, SUING a superior Bishop...I rest my case 😒🤔

Perhaps that some wealthy developer/real estate types, who may or may not be parishioners are after their land and there's something in it for the bishop. Maybe the nuns are hearing accusations against the bishop from the women who come to them, and have notified the Pope? Maybe one of the nuns turned down the bishop's advances?
I dunno.
But this situation sure does stink. I'm glad the nuns are fighting back. And I'm glad they are using a civil lawyer to do so instead of relying on the Church's none-too-tender internal traditions to defend them. Too many men in the Catholic Church have really bad attitudes toward women and use their lofty positions to persecute and harass us.
And, as we all know, evildoers will often project their corruption onto others to escape accountability.
It is illegal to question or have them sign any kind of document under anesthesia or who is on heavy pain killers! Once a patient is given the medication to "relax" them before the surgery there are no more documents or pertinent questions at that point until they are fully recovered and on their feet! This is ridiculous. I know this because I was a surgical nurse!
My husband told me I was raving about a certain restaurant to a nurse while I was coming out of anesthesia. I don’t remember that at all and I would NEVER have recommended that restaurant under normal circumstances because I got food poisoning there! Anesthesia makes you say crazy things!
I would think that any document signed under such circumstances would be inadmissible in court - in either a civil or criminal case.
Apparently the Bishop didn't get the memo.
It can't be illegal in ecclesiastical investigations as they are not conducted under the rule of law.
However showing that the Mother Superior was made to sign documents while under the post-operative effects of anaesthetic CAN be introduced as evidence of bad-faith (😏) behaviour and speak towards bad character on the part of the Bishop.
@@AenesidemusOZ Interesting to know.
Such an example of love and forgiveness! Are they aware that the world is watching?
Unbelievable 🤦♂️
The gall of the Bishop to take these actions against a NUN! Where was he when the priests were molesting children? The hypocrisy of this guy is preposterous! What is he doing about the priest that was involved in the alleged affair!?! He also took a vow of chastity!!! UNBELIEVABLE! HE IS PURE EVIL!!! 😡😡😡
Exactly! He accuses her of breaking celibacy but doesn't even know the name of the supposed priest who's involved? Where's the investigation and interrogation of him?? It sounds to me like he's making this up in retaliation against them for whatever he is secretly angry with them about. He sounds like a manipulative, passive-aggressive control freak to me.
Isn’t gluttony a sin?
Excellent point.

@@Mop222One of the Seven deadly, Sins.
Sounds like the bishop didn’t get something he wanted and is punishing them. I’d bet there was proof of his corruption on those devices he took from them.
The nuns should file a theft report.
Like the land that the monastery sits on
Based on my experience with surgery she was likely on a strong mixture of tranquilizers, opiates, and/or ketamine. Someone on that mixture is in no state to have a sensical conversation, much less be interrogated, and is extremely susceptible to suggestion. This is why videos of people messing with loved ones after wisdom tooth removal are so popular.
I can confirm that.
Why would someone even try to have a reliable conversation with someone coming out of anesthesia?
Church aside if anyone tried to use such a conversation in a court of law it better be illegal or something is wrong with our courts.
@@pmc2999There's LOTS wrong w the courts. But yes, it's illegal to try to get someone under the influence to do stuff.

This situation is very odd. Usually Bishops like to keep accusations like that under wraps. For him to make such public accusations makes me wonder if he wants their property. The Diocese might be doing poorly financially and he is looking to sell or acquire more real estate. The Bishop's actions are creating more scandal than an affair ever would.
The entire institution is odd. To say the least
Exactly!!!
Whose property? Nuns take a vow of poverty
They apparently only keep it under wraps when it is about one of their male priests molesting a kid
@@kathleenmortensen3065 Individual nuns, yes. Their congregation? Nope.
The Bishop is probably doing this to cover up what evil he has been doing!
Most likely either they want the buns property to sell for $$$$$$$$$ or the nuns are being targeted for teaching correct doctrine and holding onto teaching as it has been passed down. Maybe even both scenarios.
Yes
Yes
That was also my first thought.
He wants the land the monastery resides upon!!
Regardless whether or not the nuns had broken the vow of chastity, I do think it is a bit extreme to shut down the entire monestery.
Greetings from Ireland. Does anyone have the link to the petition? This sounds like a power trip by the bishop. I sincerely hope these nuns win their case. Good to see the nuns are being supported by the local community. Sounds like a setup to me.

@@isaiah3872 it's more than one bishop. The entire structure and system is tainted and protects deviants and always has. One of a plethora of reasons many are leaving and the faith is dying a slow death since it cannot attract new constituents.
Taking away a place of worship where they have 50 people go to on a daily schedule is just beyond horrible. Only a person with a blackened soul would keep a place of worship closed over one thing and punish so many more.
My thoughts as well, if they answer to Francis what has he to say about it. Could be controlled opersition wouldn't he have to have Francis consent?
Don't trust any of them they are not who they pretend to be they worship Satan not GOD almighty! fake evil 🤢 frauds .
What is weird is that so many people are being punished for the alleged actions of a single nun. It is possible that the Reverend Mother said false things when she was medicated. It is possible the priest pressured this nun. I don't know what happened but the whole thing is very bizarre.
All you can do is pray to jesus. Go straight to the top. The pope isn't infallible, jesus is. Jesus rules ok?
@@luilu9233 he would need to be told about this? Has no one said anything yet? Is there a long distance lag when it comes to messaging him about this? I feel like someone would have said something by now? Strange. What will it take?🫤

I think it's interesting that they're only suing for 1 million, considering that other lawsuits claiming emotional/psychological distress have sued for a lot more....

He even looks evil…perverted
Right and what i find even crazier is the fact that if this really so true were is the preist at 🤔🤨
Sounds like a property and financial grab by the bishop. This needs investigating. Closing a monastery over a single rumor is highly suspect. What is the punishment to the so-called Priest that broke his vows? Was there a hearing? I doubt it. Something smells fishy with this situation, and the stink starts at the head, with the Bishop.
Trinity River. Look at where the property is. Look all around that area. Somebody wants that property. Look at the nuns property. It's a large property. Dig deeper.
Someone should investigate the bishop’s behavior
Geez. It seems like it's about time someone stood up more to this power-mad jerk. Go, nuns, go!! You've got a lot of people rooting for you!!!
Something is wrong with this bishop. These actions are absurd. Everybody knows. Common sense tells me others must get involved and investigate this man.
Hmm the Catholic Church is this whole religion, have you heard of it? Religion is the opposite of commune sense
Several questions :
If someone supposedly witnessed this nun saying something about an affair, was this when she was either just going under after being given anesthesia, or as she was just waking back up? Because people can be somewhat delirious under those circumstances. She could've been thinking back to someone she dated before she even became a nun - and that person may have been a male priest.
Did somebody within the church hierarchy molest this nun when she was partially incapacitated right after her surgery, and they are covering it up by accusing her of willingly having an affair?
Was the bishop himself caught doing something sexually inappropriate, and someone within that order of nuns was going to turn him in, and this is how he retaliated?
Yes
For what? Suspended his practice? Foh 😂
Sounds like a control issue going on with the bishop. The nuns don't answer to this bishop but to Rome. I pray God helps the sisters and the bishop with his issues.
Totus Tuss
Even if she was guilty of breaking her vow of chastity, how is it that priests can Rape or molest little boys and young children, and all they do is get moved from one church to another! Yet he's shutting down their monastery for a supposed vow broken! Ridiculous!
Because they are on power trips.
Well said.
Truth!
Exactly. My thoughts too.
They're all the same. They're a bunch of evils. Indeed, there are nuns who become pregnant and secretly give birth in far away places or they result to aboortion.
As a Catholic, I am appalled (on so many levels). Shutting down a convent for what is allegedly a consensual adult relationship (which she denies) but continuing to ignore abusive priests is disgusting. What is happening to the priest ( or any of them whether involved in gay relationships or peedo abuse)? Satan is rampant in our beloved church.
Stay strong and pray the rosary
You’re right .! The devil is getting into the church !
for all her health issues that would be really tough to do.
I think it might be time to take a deeper dive into the Bishop and this "informant" and the real estate value of the monastery.
That's the story right there. It's a large property in a desirable area. The Trinity River area. There are people who would pay a large sum of money for that property in order to develop it. In order to sell it, he has to get rid of the nuns. Accusing one of the nuns of a sexual affair is one way to get rid of them. Dig deeper. There was a similar story 2 weeks ago about this Bishop and the nuns. It's the property. Look at the area all around the nuns property. It's about their property. It is a very valuable piece of real estate.
Exactly

The last time the church defended its bishops and priests, they were covering up the sexual molestation of its choir boys. When the church vehemently defends its bishops, we really ought to know by now there is something deeply corrupt going on.
READ ABOUT MARTIN LUTHER!!!😠
BAPTISTS could've told you this since the 16th century!
THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A POPE IN THE BIBLE!
Honestly, everyone knows people coming out of anesthesia say bizarre things they don't have control over and can't remember. How awful to target this woman who is obviously dealing with chronic medical issues.
Why were they even present to interrogate her as she was recovering from surgery?
If she was still under the influence of anaesthesia, or her level of consciousness was affected by pain medication or sedation of any kind, she would not be considered legally capable of consent at that time. Wouldn't it follow that a legal interrogation also would not be appropriate or reliable at that time?
Just another vile attack against those who profess their love and devotion to our Almighty God & Father. This bishop has sold his soul.
It doesn't matter power of Bishop in Roman Catholic Church is very hard to fight. He literally a "Prince of Church".
I agree- you see hallucinations! But if one were looking for a way to seize power and control and start an Anti Pope movement, this would be the perfect place to do it. Watch and Pray.
@@heidih3048 Catholics don't believe in consent. It's a domestic abuse-themed church. The nun committed the sin of adultery by being raped by a priest. In Catholic belief system, she should have fought him off to the death to avoid sin.
i'm immediately on the nuns side. The carmelite order is really old too, like very, very old. And the idea that this wheel-chair bound lady did this, it's beyond insane.
So the question is….why exactly does the bishop want this place shut down? I suspect he’s got a personal vendetta.
If they shut down EVERY diocese where a PRIEST was accused of sexual impropriety, there would be no Catholic Church in America! The hypocrisy, oh, the hypocrisy. That bishop needs to be shut down. What is HE hiding???😡
Exactly. Did she accuse him or one of his priests of of something? Did this convent speak up for abused children?
He's 110% pedo. Yes, some of us can tell just by looking.
I agree It’s my belief that Priests should be able to marry It’s not nature for a man to go his whole life without having sex Men are not built that way These people are so hypocritical

But God told him to do it, therefor it is moral.

@condolcezza how do you know God really isnt the bad guy and the bible itself is the deception by the king of lies? Devil indeed could have decieved every level of faith since the beginning. The most evil of all plans. If you doubt one man of God claiming the hear his voice all may be suspect. And by definition Gods will is moral. Thats why killing all those babies and kids in the Bible was ok.

So on her death bed she had a confession. Sounds like he is the one that needs kicked out.
Also, by telling media she broke her vow of chastity, isn't he breaking the seal of the confessional?

@@rosegeaber7533 it does matter because this has become a legal issue, so God is not the only factor here. I do agree with you, this man is evil.
It's either a land grab, he wants the property (check the price of the land) or the reverend mother has something on the bishop and he is trying to hide it by using a rumor made while the reverend mother was under medication (not legal).
it's most likely a land grab. catholics usually sweep stuff like that under the rug. if he is so public about this, he has other motives.
He wants their private information. These nuns receive donations from people who don't necessarily support the diocese. Unfortunately, the Civil lawsuit had to be dropped and now it's going under Cannon Law Court because the Pope gave the Bishop authority.
Absolutely not legal. Any a guilty person would make a move like that. It will take time of but Victory for them. I’m not religious but wrong is wrong.

Elvis Presley song:
"CHANGE OF HABBIT!"
This is NOT just a “theological dispute”. This is absolutely a legal dispute. If the one nun accused of breaking her vows was removed, that would have been a theological and internal issue. Shutting down the WHOLE chapel is an infringement of the 1st amendment constitutional rights of every Catholic in that community, and seizing property like phones and computers, where evidence to support the nun being innocent might have been able to be retrieved, and other physical seizures is against the 4th amendment. The Church is not a corporation, a lot of the funds for things a chapel needs comes from donations of the local community. Unless the diocese and the vatican agree to permanently shut down the chapel, no property should have been moved, as that is the purview of law enforcement, NOT the church, as the Vatican can’t prove that property is theirs and not property bought by the community or the nuns themselves. Now they’ve got a financial dispute on their hands as well. They should not have taken ANY action without law enforcement directly involved, not because a nun maybe did or maybe didn’t have sex, but because you’re tampering with data and files and physical resources, and now you can be accused of theft- no the Vatican does not own everything inside the chapel or that the nuns own. The nuns have every right to sue. Especially because shutting down a whole chapel over one person is unusual, the nuns could argue they didn’t have time to prepare for the sudden shut-down and property seizures. Even a landlord who owns a house or property has to give notice of an eviction or change of keys and locks. What the diocese did here is beyond sneaky and throwing their weight around. The bishop yes, but the whole diocese and Vatican are complacent for not having done anything to prevent this level of power-hungry overreach to happen.
You can tell this lawyer is very impressive. The way he eloquently communicates their case in a way that makes me, a non believer, not just sympathetic to their cause, but wanting to go fight for them, is commendable.
Yip, as an atheist I would normally not give a crap but this is an absolute disgrace, it is dodgy af. I take opioids & ketamine daily for chronic pain and wouldn’t want to be asked any legal questions, espesh after ketamine…let alone after full anaesthesia!! One has to wonder what the bishop is trying to deflect from! Take care, stay safe, with love from Scotland❤️🏴❤️
Of course because all woman are just automatically innocent. Same with everyone in the Catholic Church. Can’t trust organized religion.

@@disavowalf3351 , While doped up in intensive care after emergency surgery for a heart infection that nearly killed me, the nurses asked me how I felt and I told them "I feel like Elvis is sitting on my chest". The nurses must have thought I was completely out of it from the meds and anesthesia, and I'm sure they got a chuckle out of it; but when they repeated this to my wife (who is also a nurse), she informed them that we had an 18 pound cat named Elvis who would lay on my chest while I watched TV! The point being that is easy to take something out of context, or manipulate someone into an "admission" of something that isn't true, when the person who said it is drugged and in pain, and the person doing the questioning has an agenda. (PS, I too am an atheist).
Anyway, I have to wonder why this Bishop has it in for this group of nuns and their monastery. Could it be that he himself has been up to something untoward and the nuns have knowledge of it? The Catholic Church's track record has an awful lot of black marks on it.....
Strange that I don’t remember ANY action from the Catholic Church regarding literally thousands of sexual assault cases and yet they attack this woman instantly. All church’s should be investigated by authorities, not just internal reviews that are meant to suppress the truth.

Notice third response, saying that basically the secular world cannot judge the matters of faith is that how they’re able to abuse children for all these years and never prosecute the priest or is this how they’re able to use offerings and gifts from poor people that they get in order to lose their corporate desires, and needs do you guys realize that the Catholic Church is invested in the Stock market for profit.
