I think this is an abuse of the Vatican because all that the sisters do is preserve what St. Teresa of Avila gave to the Church. For more than 400 years, the Church continuously declared that this traditional Carmelite form of life is valid and it bears fruit. The popes have been admonishing continuously the Carmelite sisters, repeating it for more than 400 years, to preserve concretely faithfully what Mother Teresa of Avila gave to the Church. It is a gift for the Church.
Then, the Vatican in our days wants to change drastically and substantially the cloistered life, obliging the sisters to leave the cloister to become nomad sisters, to travel continuously and frequently; this is a destroyer, it weakens discipline and so on. This is an abuse, and in this case, for the sake of the Mother Church, for the good of the entire Church, I think these sisters have to respectfully resist such violent changes that the current administration in the Vatican wants to impose upon them, for the betterment of the Church and its spiritual good.
Here, they have to resist and trust God that He will send again a pope, hopefully not in a long time, who will thank the sisters for resisting it, and for their fidelity. And the Church will thank them that they have resisted the abusive orders of the Vatican to destroy the traditional Carmelite cloistered life.
Dear visitors of Gloria Dei and all who have already written or who will write a personal message to me. I am grateful for your attention, your kindness, for your spiritual support and especially for your sacrifices and prayers for me. God may reward you!
