Vatican disbands another contemplative nunnery



The Vatican has disbanded the contemplative Trinitarian Nuns of Mary, @Return To Tradition reports (August 1).

Their "faults" consist in engaging in Perpetual Adoration, wearing normal habits, attending the Novus Ordo eucharists, being inspired by the Fatima apparitions (prayer and penance), being Catholic-minded and having an interest in the Roman Rite.

The group was erected 1993 in Guadalajara, Mexico, as association of the faithful and in 2010 as religious institute of diocesan right. Currently they have two monasteries in Mexico (Tecate, Guadaljara) and three in the USA (Lowell, San Diego, West Covina).

The nuns didn't make their dissolution public. According to the report, they believe that by nicely asking for a reprieve, Rome will give in. They would be ready to give up their habit but after a decade of Francis' pontificate it is obvious that this will not be enough.
