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.


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.

The SSPX is not schismatic and is in full communion with Rome.

No it isn't.

EDIT: To clarify, I had dinner with Cardinal DiNardo a few months back and asked him this very question. He answered with a definitive "yes".

I also had breakfast few weeks ago with Bishop Seitz of El Paso. I've been a friend of his for over 30 years. He too confirmed that the SSPX is schismatic.

I will take the judgement of bishops and cardinals over what some dude on the Internet says. I do not doubt SSPX priests say they are not schismatic. But I doubt you'll find anyone outside that order that agrees.

Is this that same convent that had the nun that was accused by the Bishop of sexting with a priest?

Also, this convent has a handful of nuns and is on a big piece of land smack in DFW. Who pays for all that?

OP, you misspelled SSPV. They are the ones in schism, not the SSPX.

Or you could actually research for yourself.

They are considered in a canonically irregular position, but all excommunications were lifted. Pope Francis' Apostolic Letter Misericordia et Misera specifically granted the faculty to validly and licitly absolve sins to priests of the SSPX

As the Church becomes more irregular in the post conciliar world, we will see more people return to tradition. In a post Traditionis Custodes church people will flock to the SSPX.

I do not doubt most Bishops consider SSPX in schism since they don't answer to them, but to call them fully schismatic is false.

Don't be mistaken and believe you haven't revealed much about yourself as well.
Thank you for recognizing that I present myself truthfully and don't veil myself in platitudes and non sequiturs.
God bless you Pablito

Does the average Catholic have any idea what any of you are talking about?

I do. And I'm decidedly average

If you're interested in what these nuns are up to, and the history behind it, Google it

EDITED. Not nice

The people in my parish need to know since we're so physically close to this monastery. as I said, I enjoyed daily mass here but alas no more.

Humble brag…hanging with the high rollers!

The long and short of the nun deal was that there was supposedly some funny business going on with the Mother superior of the order. She denied it and Bishop Olson moved in for a money grab of the nun's property. Vatican approved it. Nuns bailed to SSPX now Bishop Olson and OP are both mad.

Edit: some people on here are very Novus Ordo Jesuit Boomer Catholics and some are trads. Some middle ground from what I can see.

Fun fact: Bishop Olson is a Domer and was in town for the ND game. He celebrated Mass at 9 am at St Mary's in CS.
