PhuturePriest Posted August 20, 2014 Author Posted August 20, 2014 :w00t: http://www.fssp.org/en/index.htm Let's also remember the ICKSP, who are freaking awesome. http://www.institute-christ-king.org/home/
PhuturePriest Posted August 20, 2014 Author Posted August 20, 2014 FSSP with Saint John Paul the Great: ICKSP: It must be conceded that the ICKSP look cooler than the FSSP, but that's because of the blue.
Anselm Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Quarr is pronounced 'corr' in English, it's not because of the community's French origins. It's a wonderful place.
PhuturePriest Posted August 20, 2014 Author Posted August 20, 2014 Quarr is pronounced 'corr' in English, it's not because of the community's French origins. It's a wonderful place. It should be "Kwarr". Just saying. And it is also awesome.
Anselm Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 No, it's 'corr' I'm afraid. It's not pronounced as spelled.
PhuturePriest Posted August 20, 2014 Author Posted August 20, 2014 No, it's 'corr' I'm afraid. It's not pronounced as spelled. I know it's not pronounced as spelled. I'm saying it should be. ;)
AveMariaPurissima Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 I met a Benedictine brother yesterday. He was really nice, and a lot of fun to talk to.
PhuturePriest Posted August 25, 2014 Author Posted August 25, 2014 I met a Benedictine brother yesterday. He was really nice, and a lot of fun to talk to. Did he seem scared? It was probably the first time he'd been allowed to speak freely in over a year.
Mary+Immaculate<3 Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 The good thing about Miles Christi is that they are a very discerning order (both the consecrated women and the priests are in formation for 12 years): http://mileschristi.org Missionaries of Charity priests: http://mcpriests.com And, my favorite, sorry for the estrogen/testosterone combination in advance :p http://heartsofjesusandmary.com

I of course have no authority on the matter, but 12 years seems excessive. If you don't know for certain if you're called to a community after 11 years, you're either really indecisive, or the community itself has a questionable atmosphere. I'm not saying Miles Christi does, but I am saying you should know before 12 years if you're called or not.
veritasluxmea Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 I think there's a rule for at least eight years, maybe a limit on 12? So if it's cool with canon law it's cool with me, although it is something to keep in mind when checking out their atmosphere and life.

Because most that I know of take about 6-7 years.
veritasluxmea Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 You mean in Miles Christi the minimum is 8, or in general? Because most that I know of take about 6-7 years. No, the minimum is 8 overall for every order, I think. I may be wrong. I've never heard of an order that does less than 8 years? The longest formation I know, besides Miles Christi, is nine years for the SOLT sisters. The other places where I know how long it is, is eight.

You are indeed wrong, because I know for a fact several communities only take 7 years.
veritasluxmea Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 You are indeed wrong, because I know for a fact several communities only take 7 years. Ok, so canon law probably has a minimum of seven years? Don't know if they have a maximum. Although now I think about it, I do know of a priest who studied in an order for sixteen years before he was ordained. That was usual.

They're ordained after 8 years, but they go back to school afterwards. They're a part of the order before then, however.
