PhuturePriest Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 All this time, I have listened and read as women went on and on about how beautiful Mount Carmel is, and how they long to live there in simplicity and poverty. I was always gullible enough to believe it, too. Well, on my way to dance class two weekends ago, I was strolling through Wichita when I saw something rather interesting: Poverty and simplicity indeed. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmilyAnn Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 The pool isn't heated! Only 1-car garages! If that isn't poverty and simplicity then I don't know what is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apologies. I forgot you wealthy Benedictines with no vow of poverty are used to such things. Edited April 18, 2013 by FuturePriest387 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as all things are held in common and allowed by the Abbot the Rule says its okay. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Cameron Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I can guarantee you the pool is really just an interactive holy water dispenser thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
