CWN Editor's Note: Bishop Michael Olson of Fort Worth, Texas, has denounced the “scandalous” public stand of a community of Carmelite nuns, and urged Catholics not to associate with the rebellious community.

The refusal of the Carmelites in Arlington, Texas, to accept a Vatican-appointed superior is “scandalous and permeated with the odor of schism,” the bishop said. He cautioned the faithful that worshipping with the nuns, or providing them with financial support, “will associate you with the scandalous disobedience and disunity of the members of the Arlington Carmel.”
