CWN Editor's Note: The nuns of a religious community in Arlington, Texas, who have been caught up in a heated dispute with Bishop Michael Olson of Fort Worth, have announced that they plan to “continue our vowed life of prayer and sacrifice in the Discalced Carmelite tradition,” despite having been officially dismissed from the Carmelite order.
The members of the Monastery of the Most Holy Trinity denied that they had been dismissed from religious life or that they had rejected the faith. “These assertions are egregiously false,” they said.
“The Vows we have professed to God cannot be dismissed or taken away,” the nuns said.
