oremus1 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Since I never knew of consecrated virgins as a thing, thought I would ask. probably because many who dont know, just regard it as a non vocation, or layperson, asking - how does their lifestyle differ from a normal celibate person? if they dont identify with a communtiy identity, why not join an eremetical order? if they like the world, why not join a secular institute? what witness do they really give to the world that is so important? ---------------------- FYI here is a short list consecrated virgins consecrated hermits members of secular institutes private vows nuns sisters brothers priests married people here is the wonderful interactive 'vocation tree' with many vocations and explanation based on vita consecrata http://www.vocationtree.org/vocationtree_map.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
