photosynthesis Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 (edited) I went to the order's website... they say that they are "traditional Catholic." I consider myself to be traditional in that I like older hymns and I think Gregorian chant is cool... are these people obedient to the Holy Father + Vatican II? I am wondering if I should be sketched out... Edited November 19, 2005 by photosynthesis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fair Verona Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Yup, as far as I know, the Oblates of Mary ARE in union with the Holy Father. Actually, I think they're a sister branch of the FSSP. [quote name='photosynthesis' date='Nov 19 2005, 02:22 PM']I went to the order's website... they say that they are "traditional Catholic."

Totus Tuus Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 You're right; they are in full union with Rome, have no affiliation with schismatic organizations, and have many (if not all) of their Masses said by FSSP priests. I was skeptical myself, but I know someone who discerned with them before entering the PCPA's who filled me in. I met Sr. Mary (I assume she's a novice now unless they have a two-year postulancy, and therefore I don't know her new name if she has one...) at a retreat in Alabama last year!

photosynthesis Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 what's FSSP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totus Tuus Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter. Founded by the Holy Father to as an organization of priests in union with Rome to celebrate the Tridentine Mass. Kind of a replacement of the SSPX after they went into schism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendan1104 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 The plural of monk is monks. And the SSPX isn't in schism... let's not have this argument again. The Oblates are very cool- and their house is packed. If you want great pics go to www.carmelitemonks.org or www.olamshrine.com or www.sistersofcarmel.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ora et Labora Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Oh that's wonderful! Thanks for telling me! She was a very beautiful girl before she entered, so I can imagine she was RADIANT on her investiture day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
