Padre Pio’s superiors put unjust restrictions on him, but he obeyed them. The mark of holiness is obedience. These nuns should have followed the example of Padre Pio, but instead they have chosen to break from Holy Mother Church like the SSPX have. Bishop Olson may well have been abusing his authority, but what these nuns are doing is never legitimate or justified. We should pray for their repentance and their reconciliation with Holy Mother Church.
