I meant schismatics.

There's nothing wrong with social justice and women's rights, as long as you understand them the right way. Social justice is an official key subject for the Dominican Order!

My philosophy is everything in moderation. Dominicans obviously know how to do that.

I was thinking about this the other day. Somebody had a link on here to a Carmelite ceremony and one of the readers was a lay-woman with a veil on. BUT she was wearing pants! I usually think of head coverings as being pretty traditional, but not pants. I wish I could remember what community it was. But anyway, there are some really traditional Opus Dei members at our parish, and the wife wears pants. I always thought they wear skirts only. I guess you just never know. A community could be so traditional that they are wearing the common dress of the day (like Jesus did) to remain hidden and unseen and still practice the Traditional Mass and follow the more conservative leanings of the Church!
