Did anyone listen to the audio recording of the Bishop & M. Agnes Teresa? It’s made me question the narrative. It wasn’t a great convo - he did refuse their canon lawyer, which seems off to me. But he certainly didn’t yell or barge in and steal the computers like the Prioress is saying. And she certainly sounded resistant to the idea of stepping down from her role as Prioress, which seemed off as well, given her really poor health + her admission that her brain “got really messed up.”
If you read the original affidavit, the Bishop confiscated equipment on 4/24, revisited on 4/25, and had his temper tantrum/door slamming/threatening behavior on 4/26. Mother Superior went to the ER that night with a high fever and extreme stress. Three days in a row culminating with a raised voice starts to smell like harassment to me. It is nauseating that he released the recording of him sounding soft-voiced when the affidavit tells a different story. But I guess we'll never know. And nothing will happen because he "cleaned up his mess."
Well, Mother did change her story within that time and begin saying (as newspapers reported) that she had not sinned against chastity. I can see that frustrating the Bishop. I’m not saying he handled himself well. I lived in his diocese for awhile so I’m very aware of his “style” which rubs lots of people the wrong way. But I’m just reaching the place of feeling like he’s not the only one who made this a mess here.

Clear as mud.
Well that’s a good point about it being dealt with with the spiritual director & therapy.
What a mess. You just can’t be too careful who you confide in, I guess. Sad.

Definitely not the only one, but he's supposed to be the example of charity and leadership...
For sure. For sure!
He is an example of a fake and one who would do well to remove himself from office because no one else will!
