The Rt Revd Vivienne Faull, Bishop of Bristol, has denied Permission to Officiate (PTO) to retired priest Revd Sue Parfitt, who is facing criminal charges for damaging the protective glass of the Magna Carta during a climate protest. Parfitt, 82, expressed disappointment at the decision but emphasized her commitment to advocating for climate action. Meanwhile, in Texas, Bishop Michael F. Olson has urged Catholics not to participate in sacraments with a community of Discalced Carmelite nuns that recently aligned with the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), a group lacking official recognition from the Catholic Church. The nuns stated their decision stemmed from a desire to adhere to traditional liturgical practices. Olson labeled the association with the SSPX as 'scandalous disobedience', reflecting ongoing tensions within the Church. These incidents highlight the intersection of faith and activism in modern ecclesiastical contexts.
