Fort Worth bishop says claims he or the diocese planted drugs at an Arlington monastery are 'false, baseless'
The bishop also refuted claims that he or the diocese have covered up the alleged wrongdoing by the priest. He said the priest's superior and bishop have been notified of the allegation and that on the advice of the priest's own canonical counsel, he would neither confirm nor deny his involvement with the nun. Olson said the priest, whom he did not name publicly, is not currently assigned.
Olson, lastly, reiterated that the matter with the nun is a pastoral and spiritual matter and called for the faithful to pray for a just, peaceful and merciful conclusion. He also asked for prayers for the nuns and novices in the monastery for their health and salvation.
"To be clear, however, the diocese initiated and is in communication with the Arlington Police Department regarding serious concerns it has regarding the use of marijuana and edibles at the monastery, along with other issues that the diocese will address at another time and in a proper forum. The attached photographs were provided by a confidential informant within the monastery," the diocese said.
