PaxVobis Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Hey guys, I just wanted to know what you guys know about the Dominicans. I looked at their order sometime ago, when I first thought about a vocation and recently I've started looking at them again. What do you guys know about them? Conservative minded? Liberal? Any one have any contact with them? If so please tell me what you think. I'm pretty seriously thinking about them. Thanks! Pax, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RemnantRules Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Blessed Be God!!! Political i don't know but what i DO know is that they are awesome! I like how they are a teaching order, that's why you see them as professors alot of the time. They learn and speak the truth. They obviously are HUGE on the Rosary and they have the best color, WHITE!!!. I've met plenty of them and they are sooo awesome and nice.

StColette Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I know some about the Dominicans, I know a Religious Brother online who speaks very highly of them and from my research of them they appear to be a very good order [url="http://www.op.org/"]http://www.op.org/[/url] [url="http://www.dominicans.org/"]http://www.dominicans.org/[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popestpiusx Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 The Dominican House of Studies in D.C. is pretty good. The order itself, like any other major order, can only be judged at the local level. There are good priories and really wacky ones.

Fiat_Voluntas_Tua Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I had a stranger and 2 other people come up to me telling me I was going to be a Dominican priest...That would be dope if that is what I was called to. Totus Tuus, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLAZEr Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Eastern Province (St. Joseph Province) and California Province of Dominicans are great guys. My friend is in temporary vows with the Eastern Province and is very very happy. The other provinces (Midwest, Southern) are pretty liberal. There are still good Dominicans in those provinces, but you're gonna be a fish out of water for the most part. Stick to the Eastern Province or California province.

popestpiusx Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 [quote name='BLAZEr' date='Oct 6 2004, 01:39 AM'] Stick to the Eastern Province or California province. [/quote] Strange that California is a haven for conservative dominicans. California is not usually associated with much of anything conservative these days.

Andrea348 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Dominicans are AWESOME!!! I hope to be one someday. I don't know about the brothers, but Dominican sisters and how conservative/liberal they are varies by order. There are some extremely traditional Dominican orders that are loyal to the Magisterium and wear habits. There are also some other groups of Dominicans that a really rather liberal and no longer wear the habit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaxVobis Posted October 6, 2004 Author Share Posted October 6, 2004 hmm.. Thanks for all of your responses.. I'm looking at the southern province since its it covers my home area "oklahoma". I've talked to the vocations director and he said he will be sending me some information and calling me sometime soon. I'll just have to wait and see what happens and see what they are like if/when I go to visit them. Thanks again for your help! Pax, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RemnantRules Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Blessed Be God!!! Pax: If you know University of Dallas, the Dominicans run that college! God Bless Jason Gregory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurkeFan Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Two good friends of mine (and in some extent mentors) just joined the Eastern Province. It's solid like woah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
