What Do You Think Of This Carmelite Convent?

They remain contemplative but are permitted to have guests come in to their monastery for "convivencios" and to share in their prayer.  Given what others have said about the turn of Spanish culture to more secularism and atheism, it seems to me that this change, while they still cling very much to the Teresian Carmelite charism, is much needed and good for sharing the faith. Perhaps they will spread out to other monasteries where there are few nuns once the many young women in formation have made final vows.

I prefer the strictest cloistered Carmel convents, the ones where they put a shawl over their faces when facing the public or when they get their pictures taken by someone on the outside...

I feel the same as you!! ;)
