Do you not think there’s an irony in that you are publicly critiquing me for having publicly critiqued contributors who were publicly critiquing COLW?

Please note the emoticon. I'm trying to take all this down a level or two. I hope we can all get back to celebrating Sr Theresa's profession.

You know what, you are totally right! Mea culpa. I like the use of your emotion as well.

I was simply making a statement of fact which was told to me by a discerner who had visited them.

Blessings,

I was really attracted to the charism of these Sisters, but sadly they have a firm age limit.

I am very happy to see that the Community of Our Lady of Walsingham has been receiving quite wonderful vocations. I am praying for Sr Theresa that she will be faithful to the call God has for her.
I am including this community on my prayers and that having a male postulant is courageous and something new for a Church. I can't say more then enough besides offering some sacrifices for their wonderful charisms and apostolate.
I would like to post my thoughts here. Though I am for religious wearing the habit but as the as my spiritual director used to tell me"the Spirit breathes to whom it pleases" What i count on for religious right now is fidelity, fidelity , fidelity and more fidelity.
I don't care weather the congregation was founded wearing a habit or in street clothes. What I do care about is are they faithful to the Church? to the Holy Father and its Teachings? are they really willing to die physically and spiritually for its defence? do the sisters have a solid formation and prayer life? do the sisters are in fire for apostolate, care for souls, through their congregation's specific missions and charisms?
If the congregation defies the Church and its teaching whether the sisters are fully habited from head to toe I should not give them a second look. I will just pray for their conversion. The same with sister whose wearing T-Shirts and secular clothes but are very much faithful and apostolic, (if they are faithful) they are worthy of our prayers, sacrifices and most of all vocations
Here in cambridge, some professors, students and classmates who are numeraries (lay members of Opus Dei who are celibates). They are ordinary guys and gals but boy I greatly admire how they are working for souls. They are very apostolic. I wish I could do more than what they have been doing here. count at least 10 who give up their lives to God every year.

Christina Therese, there are currently only sisters in the community, although the bishop has given authorisation for a brothers' branch to develop. I spoke with Sr Camilla around Easter time and she said that they have plans for a secular institute too, but one step at a time.

Seems they are thinking/dreaming big! Exactly what we need! I will pray that they receive many vocations to support the community in all that they are called to do.

I do not care a fig whether their habit includes veils or hoods.

But I do need to point out that any community that plays ping-pong while on trampolines is truly excellent!!!!
