Yes, you are over analyzing, but that is okay, it is phatmass.

I'm not over-analyzing. I'm simply saying there are vast differences, and that they don't look like each other. Just because they're both black does not mean they look the same. Far from it, in fact. If you put on a Benedictine Habit and then put on a Franciscan Habit you'd be amazed at just how different they really are, and how different they truly look.

Here's a picture of Benedictines:

Okay, based on your pic they don't look alike. Maybe I should have been more specific. I meant the more commonly used Benedictine habit.


Here is a visual aid to explain my position

On the left is a Benedictine Monk, on the right a Franciscan
on the bottom is a Benedicting monk with the Franciscans arm and cincture not to subtly photoshopped

Just to keep this thread going I thought that I would post a question - I apologize in advance if anyone has issues with me doing so.

This is a [u]canonical community [/u]of the Catholic Church which is made up of men and women who take vows poverty, chastity and obedience.

This[b][u] canonical community [/u][/b]follows Francsican and monastic tradition which has led them to farming among other things. the brothers and sisters always choose those works that the signs of the times indicate are most in need of our witness in a given region.

Mater,

You can't win them all! I tried to be careful in the question that it was in fact a community and not an order.

I'm not denying that they look kind of similar, I'm denying that they're almost exact matches. Put on a Benedictine Habit and a Franciscan Habit, and first you will notice that Benedictine Habits are considerably heavier. This is because there's more to them than Franciscan Habits. Franciscans have one to two piece Habits, sometimes three at the most, while Monks traditionally wear much more than that. Traditional Carmelite Habits are amazingly heavy. A Franciscan once told me that he put one on and he had gained ten pounds. Besides, there are obvious differences that you can see with the side-by-side comparison. The Franciscan is wearing a cord, and his hood is more noticeable, above other things. Also, I think Brother Maximilian-The Franciscan-'s Habit is darker.

lol, remind me never to say the Mercedarian habit looks like the Dominican one.

Hun, that's what happens when I'm on here. I just know how to research too well.

I guessed the SSVMs. I don't know if I am right or if I even made it in on time.

[Gabriela]

This is the most awesome game ever. Why hasn't it been played in two years?!

[ChristinaTherese]

Yes, it is. Someone, give us a new clue!

[Gabriela]

I'll give one.

 

This order is a relatively new (20th-century) American foundation with apostolates in teaching and nursing. They are fully habited (white), accept entrants of all ages, and have houses in Pennsylvania and Ohio, as well as special devotions to the Holy Spirit, Our Lady of Loreto, and St. Anne de Beaupre. Also, they are just lovely!

 

Go.

This is a great game--I'm so glad that it's been resurrected!

 

OK, my guess:  Oblates of the Sacred Heart of Jesus?

 

Actually, I have no idea what their devotions are or whether or not they're in PA.  I do know that they're in OH, that they wear all white, accept entrants of all ages, and have the apostolates of teaching & nursing (among other things).

I figured it out!

 

Congregation of the Divine Spirit

 

They have houses in Erie, PA and Canton, OH.  They serve as teachers and as nurses to the elderly.  Their habits are white and their houses for the elderly are named after Our Lady of Loreto.

Ok, Mater, I have to agree with the poster of two years ago that you are scary good at this game. Indeed, the CDS does/has all those things, as well as makes a regular pilgrimage to the Shrine of St. Anne in Canada.

 

Now, Mater, since YOU figured it out, YOU give a clue!
