Nuns at an Arlington-based monastery have accused Bishop Michael Olson of 'an ugly attempt to seize control of our governance, finances and life.'
Nuns in Texas are seeking a restraining order against Bishop Michael Olson and other Catholic Church officials in a bid to stop a takeover of their monastery.The lawsuit filed on Monday asks for a temporary restraining order to be issued against Olson, the Diocese of Fort Worth, and the Association of Christ the King in the United States of America, WFAA reported.
