The Carmelite convent in Arlington (Texas) is now under the authority of the order and no longer the diocesan bishop. The Vatican dicastery for religious orders issued a decree on Thursdayin which the Carmelite Association "Christ the King in the USA" was granted supervision of the convent. This also ends the mandate of the local diocesan bishop of Fort Worth, Michael Olson, to manage the convent as papal representative. The Carmelite convent is involved in a dispute over alleged celibacy offences by its former superior and drug allegations. In the meantime, the nuns had tried to push back the influence of the bishop, whom they accuse of targeting the convent and its assets, by filing a lawsuit with the state court. The dispute escalated further and further, culminating in an attempt to dismiss the superior and accusations of schism.
