Arlington nuns dismissed from Catholic religious life after months-long dispute
Arlington nuns dismissed from Catholic religious life after months-long dispute
The Fort Worth Catholic Diocese announced the dismissal of a group of nuns from Catholic religious life. In June of last year, Reverend Mother Teresa Agnes Gerlach was found guilty of violating her vow of chastity with a priest from outside the diocese.
Nuns are convinced Jesus did not have sex ?
Did the priests get kicked out?
Is the Bishop taking too many funds to overfeed himself with?
"Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone". Not that having love for another human being, or even a physical relationship is sinful. If anything, this Nun is probably better equipped to serve because of her human experience. Some people are "called" to a variety of endeavors. Bless you Sister!
Vows of obedience, chasity and POVERTY. I guess they didnt get the memo that as nuns you NEVER own anything. Taking and giving away any religious land, building, artifacts of the Catholic Church I believe is an act of simony in the church. My priest isn’t going to take over our church and call it his to give away as he sees fit because he can’t do whatever he wants. I can’t do that at work. The nuns have gone off the rails.
Gluton bishop
The Catholic church sucks. It’s the largest pedophile organization in global history. Almost 1 million children were sexually abused by priests. How the Catholic church continues to exist is beyond my comprehension. May God not have mercy on their soul.
Who is perfect? Where the priest? God forgive us
Everyone knows what those priests do to the sisters behind closed doors. Very disturbing.
+ ALLOW PRIESTS & NUNS TO MARRY!+ For 800 years, priests were able to be marry. Perhaps, there would be less scandals within the Catholic Church.
Orthodox priests can be married, Protestant ministers and preachers can be married, etc.
Priests can be laicized & defrocked, but when they do so, they lose all of their priestly rights within the Catholic Church. This results in them pursuing a different career or moving to the Protestant church.
What if they let them marry?
Also, if they are in a religious order, they are in a vulnerable place, because they do not want to be disrespectful and ask to go against their religious vows which mean the world to them & leave the order. Plus, where would they go, sleep, eat since they have been removed from society & living on the means of the religious order, essentially.
This is anti-catholic reporting
Countless pedophile priests are protected by the church for decades but a nun has phone/text romance and quickly forced from her order. More blatant proof women have no value in the Church except for birthing more Catholics
poor women, they must be biologically frustrated, no wonder they can be found for doing such things
If this was obtained in a confession, the priest who can’t be trusted with the seal of confession has a more serious offense than an absolved religious does.
Wow
CBS news online gives further details.
The mother superior (yes, the nun in the wheelchair) admitted in court (June 2023) to sexting with a priest. That is a violation of the vow of chastity. The priest has since gone into early retirement “in good standing”.
Now, instead of taking the punishment, the nuns are in rebellion. What punishment?
The mother superior would have been removed and another brought in. The nuns said no. So it looks like they’ve transferred the property to another organization and aligned themselves not with their mother church, but with another breakaway catholic group.
So the nuns are standing with their mother superior and making the whole issue out to be a landgrab but it’s not.
I hereby invite you to attend my Baptist Church.✝️♥️
Have the carnally erring priest and the one who heard her confession been relieved of thier collars as well?
Well as usual the bishops have the say so. God gave them the right not to be merciful and condemn them. Do not tell people what to do.
sad how religious leaders/bishops lie, cheat, and falsify for their gain!
The Bishop needs to lose some weight!
insane allegations !he fat bishop waned the mothet superior out because she is sick and in a wheekchair!
No win situation. Nuns would better to just all leave and start a new order but not roman Catholic.
Well, being a nun, one must honor their moral duty to abstain from s e x.
Fire the hypocrite bishop! If priests can keep their jobs after raping kids then for damn sure the head mother Num should be allowed to keep her job too! This is misogamy, prejudice against women!
Incredible there is a mispronunciation. Pius X is Pius the 10th. X is a Roman numeral
Bishop Michael Olson doesn’t look like a priest, he looks like a clown.
Sick! Nunes are lesbians and preast are gays this is the world need to know about the scam about Catholic faith.
And what have you sinned sir? .. Judge not another lest you be judged.
I just found it funny the new lady said “Society of Saint Pee-us “ex” and not “society of St. Pius X (the tenth)
Catholic Church bully a group of dedicated women. They are thieves after property worth a fortune . Amoral group of grifting men. Add this disgusting behavior to the litany of amoral behavior.
The Nuns are becoming Anglo-Catholic now.
How many priests and bishops were removed for the same misdeeds.
why don’t Catholics use the Bible in service?
People asking its unfair and what about the priest who broke vows too…well the report is INCOMPLETE who knows the priest might have been sanctioned too. Please imrpove your way of reporting because it causes confusion among viewers. Very poor.
COVIDITOS-DE-ALMS! SHUT IT-DOWN!
Jesus said to woman, "nor do I condemn you", John 8:11. This Bishop may have trouble squeezing through "The Narrow Gate."
Sisters. There are many concerned for you in our prayers.We have only to remember Saint Francis who began his religious journey outside the Catholic faith. I pray for you sisters for all your good work. God bless you
The Bishop kicked them out because they are TLM REAL Catholics. The “chastity” violation is nonsense, just a slander to kick them out.
Woah.. that’s alful. No mercy, forgiveness or kindness.
Obey your bishop is rule #1
SAD THAT THE MOTHER SUPERIOR GAVE INTO HER FLESHLY PLEASURES AND CONTINUED.SHE SHOULD HAVE LEFT AND GOT MARRIED.THE REMAINDER NUNS MUST CONFESS AND CARRY ON.
2024 and still the Catholic Church adheres to the vow of chastity. Utterly ridiculous. Is it any wonder that young American men and women who want to become members of the clergy, decline because of such a foolish, antiquated rule.
Guys hetes news about the priest: The priest, Father Philip Johnson, was initially suspended in 2023 by the Diocese of Raleigh, but in July 2024 was described by the head of that diocese, Bishop Luis Rafael Zarama, as “a priest in good standing” with “full faculties to exercise priestly ministry.” From CNA
