The Discalced Carmelite Nuns in Arlington, Texas, have recently faced unprecedented interference and aggression from the current Bishop of Fort Worth, resulting in the need for a statement of defiance and separation from his authority. The nuns, dedicated to a life of prayer and penance, have expressed their complete confidence in their Mother Prioress and her moral integrity, emphasizing their commitment to maintaining a tranquil house of prayer for the salvation of their souls and the edification of God's people.
In response to the Bishop's actions, the Carmelite nuns have declared that they no longer recognize his authority and have forbidden him or any of his representatives from entering their monastery property or having any contact with the monastery or its members. They assert that no one who has abused them as the Bishop has done has any right to their cooperation or obedience, prioritizing their spiritual and psychological safety above all else.
