Maybe that's just me, but calling religious orders names is not something that I have stooped so low to doing. Even doing it in good humor can be offensive. I'm fine with the banter of "My order is better than yours, nah nah nah-nah nah" kind of thing, but calling Dominicans lazy and Dum-Dums is downright offensive. I'm all fine and good with having a favorite order, but putting another order down with straight up insults is not okay with me. I haven't done that to any other order and don't plan to, so please don't do it to the Dominicans. (And if another order was being called lazy or dumb, I'd still be saying this.) Name calling, even if it is not meant as a joke, is not okay. [/quote] You do not have a cloistered vocation. It's okay though, I understand where you're coming from. I know one time my friends started making fun of the Roswell PCCs and how they talked (it's just the joy seeping through-like your Sister Veronica Marie on Life On the Rock!) and I was ready to draw my sword. It's all in good fun, and ultimately we are just one large Catholic phamily! Edited November 17, 2012 by emmaberry101

[/quote] Or call him a dumb ox- I dare ya Oh and the penitential part made me think of this piece I saw [img]http://www.visualphotos.com/photo/1x9666470/.jpg[/img] One of the most beautiful pieces at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC in the European section. The lighting contrast is exceptional. The look on his face is thought provoking. Got St Franny love to. also from the MET [img]http://images.metmuseum.org/CRDImages/ep/web-large/DP104367.jpg[/img]

DiscerningCatholic Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 Even in good fun, it can come off as insulting.

[/quote] Dude, the title of the thread is "Let's Talk Carmelites!" and everything competitive or whatever is said in a joking manner. No need to get your panties in a wad.
DiscerningCatholic Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) Says the girl with "Dominicans Rule" as her signature... Whatever. Anyway...how did St. Francis end up in here, too?? Guys, we could seriously have our own show..."Nun Wars." Edited November 18, 2012 by DiscerningCatholic
FutureCarmeliteClaire Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 It was all MIKolbe. Bahaha That is an epic idea. It'll be like one of those Beverly Hills Housewife shows.
DiscerningCatholic Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 LOL, except a lot less obscene and a lot more Catholic.
FutureCarmeliteClaire Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 But I wanna be the obscene one.
