Of course, a Catholic cannot just up and say "we don't like our bishop so we're going over here". You CAN choose to just leave the Church, which it appears they have.
Of course, Bishop Olson cannot let this go by with no comment.
Such a shame as I enjoyed daily mass at this Monastery. Now, no more. Whatever "Mass" is being said here will not be by a priest with faculties in this diocese. Too bad.
Such a shame these nuns and their supporters have chosen to leave the Catholic Church. I pray for their souls.
Quote:
For the past several years we have experienced much joy and spiritual renewal in the re-discovery of the riches of the immemorial liturgical tradition of the Church.
In our desire to grow in holiness and an ever deeper fidelity to our Discalced Carmelite charism, and as an appropriate means to better serve Our Holy Mother the Church, in August, following the unanimous decision of the Chapter of the Monastery, and with the agreement of the whole community, we completed the final steps necessary for our Monastery to be associated with the Society of Saint Pius X, who will henceforth assure our ongoing sacramental life and governance. We are profoundly grateful to the Very Reverend Father Superior General and to his delegates here in the USA for their paternal understanding and welcome.
