The Vatican has expelled a group of Texas nuns amid a yearlong dispute between the sisters and Fort Worth Bishop Michael Olson after he accused their Reverend Mother of breaking her chastity vows with an online love affair.
Olson taped his April 2023 interrogation of Mother Superior Teresa Agnes Gerlach in her Arlington convent, during which she appeared to admit to a consenting long- distance phone affair with Father Philip Johnson, a retired former priest from the diocese of Raleigh, North Carolina.
According to Chron, the bishop argued that Gerlach committed adultery by engaging in a sexting relationship, which violated the sixth commandment and her virginity vow.
By October, the Catholic leader in charge of the nuns had dismissed the religious order, and on November 28, the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, a group within the Catholic Church that oversees religious orders, issued a decree of suppression to the Discalced Carmelite Monastery of Arlington, according to KERA News.
