Is he friends with community developers? It seems as if he wants to seize the monastery, make it a diocesan church and sell the land to some developer.
That makes sense, and we all know bullies go after those that are helpless. Bishop should be ashamed of his outlandish press appearances but bullying is what he chooses to do. He thinks he’ll win public opinion and he’s not going to.
Praying for the Carmelite Nuns and will continue with monetary contributions for their needs whatever they may be. The fact that the Bishop demanded on knowing the names and addresses of those who help support them is an invasion of our privacy!
Bishop Olsen step down. You need to submit to others regarding this situation with the nuns. And you need to name the priest if this is in fact the case. One doesn't commit adultery on their own. Name the priest. You are unfit Bishop to be in charge of this. STEP DOWN!!!!
If he's telling the truth in his full video where he states that the donor list and the phones and communication devices are the property of the monastery, why did he take them? Why has he requested that donations to the monastery be ceased? He says in the video that the nun's agreed to voluntarily surrender their devices to be copied, why was this necessary? If the mother superior's supposed confession to the transgression, which he said she admitted was a voluntary one, is enough to publicly identify her, why is it not also sufficient to publicly identify the priest involved? So many unanswered questions. An honest person would address them, even if the answers were not what people wanted to hear. The Bishop is, at the very least, treating the nun as a transgressor when 2 parties consented to an act that broke their vows. I don't necessarily believe his narrative, but if it is true, then at the very least he is inflicting a punishment upon the nun that should be equally applied to the priest. He should search his conscience in this matter.
Shame on you Olson. Your Greedy, glutinous self wishes only to expel this infirmed sister so the diocese will not have to pay for her care. Not to mention it will affect his grocery bill
How can this guy justify as a bishop dragging all this into the public eye. He says it is a "delicate" matter. Is this the way a bishop deals with "delicate" matters? Whether there is some wrongdoing or not, this is a most outrageous way to conduct the Church's business.
Are we all missing the poiny here - why is the bishop (my bishop in fact) exploding one woman's alledged sins against the 6th commandment and making this such a big deal. Some would call it scandal making/caulumny/gossip/slander depending on the stories veracity. The rea sin/ scandal here is the big deal the bishop is making of this nun's alledged sin. What a shame. Makes me ashamed to be in his diocese
This bishop is extremely immature and an investigation needs to be held including the staff, priests, and religous of his diocese to determine his fitness for the role. A title does not a bishop make ! He may need to reread the gospels. 4 “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?” 6 They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. 7 They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” 8 Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust. 9 When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. 10 Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” 11 “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”
Question … Are these accusations true ? As we know bishops wield a tremendous amount of power,and is it possible that Bishop Michael F. Olson is frustrated that this property belongs to the Carmelite Nuns of Arlington,Texas,and that legally he can not seize the property for his own use ? I believe greed is a sin Bishop Michael F. Olson ,perhaps it’s time for confession ?
Said to say this Bishop being controlled fully by Satan Poor nuns have to suffer for him and many of them like him my beautiful Nuns I hope my praise Rosary he help somehow❤🌹
We are not in a position to judge anything or anyone. Prayer is our only hope. Remember, we are Catholics in the church Jesus founded and he alone can and will find the proper solution. Charity must prevail.
After today's court proceedings, it looks like a lot of people here (and everywhere) owe Bishop Olson an apology. Bishop Olson was telling the truth and the Reverend Mother lied when she told news outlets she never admitted to Bishop Olson she violated her vow of chastity. The priest has now been named. Bishop Olson said this never should have made it to state court. The Reverend Mother was trying to win in the court of public opinion. Bishop Olson recorded their conversation where she admitted it. He played the audio in court today. She was sexting with Bernard Murray of the Transalpine Redemptorists in Montana.
@GeorgeGeorge-by2lf You are funny! Has it always difficult for you to stay on topic? I'm not even a Bishop Olson fan. I know of things far worse than what you accuse him of. You throw out all kinds of accusations with no proof given. Did I say anything about drugs? No! You are the one focused on drugs. I only stated that I heard a voice recording of her, in court, (and was played on the news) where she admit she violated her vow of chastity. Moral arbiter? You ever read Matthew 7:1-5? Might read it again. You did what you accused me of doing when I didn't pass judgement on anyone. I just stated the facts as reported by Channel 8.
Why don’t they name the priest involved? They have no problem identifying the mother superior. It takes two to tango why is she standing alone? Have we not progressed since the time that they dragged the adulterer before Jesus? Let’s allow the accused to face her accuser!!!!! It’s the LAW OF THIS LAND!
I don’t know anyone involved in this mess but It’s pretty crazy to assert that a Bishop is somehow trying to takeover the monastery or is somehow framing the Carmelite Nuns. It’s also pretty hard for someone to get access to the interior of a convent to “stage” photos. I think we need to pray for all involved and trust the truth will come out.
My friend, if you knew half the things this morally bankrupt bishop has done in the diocese, you clearly would not use the words "trust" or "truth". Either you mean well or you're a blind follower.

Follow the money! The nuns are sitting on 70+ acres of prime Texas real estate in the DFW area. The bishop himself needs to pray and especially fast.
Yes, he definitely needs to fast, and maybe attend a Latin mass. These incompetent jerks are finally getting what they deserve.
It would appear so!
corrupt and evil man.. he is driven by power and money... why won't he name the priest? he named the nun? because it didn't happen.
Well, the Bishop is certainly not hungry.
Yes. Perhaps the portly bishop could learn something from fasting.
@@stevenmichael3426 My thoughts exactly.
You don't love anything but Land and money
The monastery was deeded to the sisters. They are not employees of the diocese. They can legally tell the bishop to jump in the lake.
Praying for the Carmelite Nuns and will continue with monetary contributions for their needs whatever they may be. The fact that the Bishop demanded on knowing the names and addresses of those who help support them is an invasion of our privacy!
Does he have a right to know that? Do other dioceses who have nuns and convents do that?

This is getting ridiculous that devil is always working and these nuns captain cat captivity it's so sad
The bishop is so mundane, I think it's the world and himself tempting him.
This guy is out of control
Corrupt bishop
The story changes a bit every time.
The diocese of FW has a lot of experience spinning facts. If you knew the history of St Rita in FW, you'd see just how shady the man is.
@M V I rather trust the bishop then the media story.

How is this bishop always involved in something?
STOP DONATIONS? BWAAHH HA. HAAAA. SEND MORE!
Maybe it’s part of a weight-loss plan??? Naaaah, not Olsen.

We support the nuns.
We do! We need prayerful nuns like them, and a bishop that behaves like a pastor, not like a spoiled Prince.

Why is this a story?
it might not matter to you but it will matter to catholics world wide who see the church steadily falling apart .
Jesus is to preoccupied to address the issue
These nuns are suffering under a corrupt Bishop that has been supporting dubious urban developments and very corrupt politicians

I said Wild Turkey 101, not George Dickel or Annie Green Springs, BURP!
I will call to request a meeting with her
Olson is aJudas priest
Support the Nuns, Bishops like him are why the church is losing members. There's no room for bigots in the church.
Boooooo!
Lying is a sin Bishop you know that.
