Companions Of Clare - New Community For Older Women

[Totally Franciscan]

Totally Franciscan,

 

You mentioned,  "Oops!  It just crossed my mind after I posted the above that we are not supposed to post about communities that are not approved.  My apologies to all", and I did read the "sticky" about this.  However, I have a very real question...what constitutes approved and what does not?  If the Bishop and/or his delegates approve for a group to move forward, is that group not to be considered "approved"?  OR, does a group have to reach the "Diocesan Right" status to be considered approved?  If the latter is the case, the DSMME won't reach diocesan status until this summer, yet they are talked about quite a bit on here. 

 

I'm not trying to be cranky; this really is a question I have.  :)

 

Thanks!!  :)

 

Sorry Sister Snowflake, but I can't answer that question.  Mater is spot on yet again with her post, so I guess we will have to wait until DUSt chimes in.  I think you have some valid points though.
