Totus Tuus Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 (edited) [quote name='futurenun'] Where are these Poor Clares located?[/quote] [url="http://www.adorationmonastery.org/"]http://www.adorationmonastery.org/[/url] They're Sisters of the Passion and Cross. Poor Clare Capuchin Contemplatives. I'm fairly confident that they are not affiliated with SSPX or any other dissenting order dispite their traditional values, but I am not positive. I have not heard back from them yet, like I said, but their site may help shed light in them. Totus tuus! Lauren <3+ Edited January 5, 2005 by Totus Tuus
popestpiusx Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 They are a pretty cool order, but for one fault: I am almost certain that they are sedevecantist (and as such are in no way shape or form affiliated with the SSPX). They still have some good information on the website, but just keep this in mind.

The reason I wrote them is because I'm looking into the Poor Clares, and I go to the Tridentine indult Mass each Sunday (so I obviously appreciate the word "Traditional" in their name). I actually learned about them upon receiving a Christmas card that said a Novena was being said for my family by that order from a friend who strongly leans towards SSPX. I'm now more interested in hear back from them so that I can clear all of this up for myself, and decide if they are all right for me to discern with . Thanks again. edit: I was researching 'sedevecantist' and none of the three definition sources I consulted could give me information on the term. I'm familiar with it but do not know exactly what it implies. Could you elaborate on that for me, if you have time? God bless. Edited January 5, 2005 by Totus Tuus
Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 [quote]+ J.M.J.D. 5 January 2005 St. John Neumann Dear Angela, We have been in recent contact with one of the newbies from 'PhatMass'. We just sent her a message similar to this because we saw that she had inquired into the 'Sisters of the Passion and Cross'. We noticed that you posted a request asking where you could find out more about them. We are taking this opportunity to warn you that, although they call themselves Poor Clare Capuchins, their community is not in union with Rome nor recognized by the Franciscan Order. You may be interested in further references available at: [url="http://www.capuchins.org/"]http://www.capuchins.org/[/url] [url="http://www.catholicculture.org/"]http://www.catholicculture.org/[/url] The word "sedevecantist" comes from the Latin "sede vacante" and in English translates as "when the see is vacant". Sedevecantists believe that every pope since the Second Vatican Council has been a heretic. Since a heretic cannot legitimately fulfill the Pontifical Office, sedevecantists claim that the Chair of Peter has been vacant for almost 40 years now. They believe that John Paul II is a heretic. According to them, all Bishops that have remained loyal to him are heretics as well. The Sisters' own statement that, "We are not associated in any way with the post-conciliar Church" confirms these facts. St. Francis himself insisted on obedience to the pope. These "religious" are not a part of their local diocesan structure. They infer the support of an "independent" Bishop in another state. There is also a pretty definite possibility that their vows are not valid either. We urge you to take all of this information into serious consideration before pursuing any further interest with them. Prayerfully in the Hearts of Jesus, Mary, and Saint Dominic, Sister Mary Imelda of the Holy Eucharist, O.P. Vocation Directress / Novice Mistress[/quote]
Totus Tuus Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 She did indeed let me know about their current standing. I wrote them a letter tonight retracting my interest, which they will hopefully receive before they send out the information they were going to give me. I informed the sister that I was by no means interested in diregarding my Baptismal and Confirmational promises to God and my Church by discerning with a dissenting order. I'm sorry for any confusion I have caused anyone here by mentioning them. I had no intention of sparking interest in an order that was not faithful to Our One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. Totus tuus, Lauren <3+
Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 It's okay They sounded okay going by the name... But thank goodness we have such wonderful people looking out for us!
popestpiusx Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 Totus Tuus, Did your question get answered? By the way, I have your screen name inscribed on the inside of my wedding ring. Sorry. That has nothing to do with this thread.

When they get enough, they will look for a place for a new monastery (Where they are now is supposed to be temporary)
