Saint Therese Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Was she in any way identifiable as a religious by her life of service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qfnol31 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 [quote name='Apotheoun' post='1769344' date='Feb 2 2009, 12:47 AM']Is it a religious order, or something more akin to what Regnum Christi has, i.e., consecrated women who work in the world? Canon Law requires that religious orders have a habit (canon 669).[/quote] They are an order that was founded without a traditional habit. I'm not sure Canon Law addresses that particular concern.

I mean, I was a kid at the time, she was my principle so I naturally disliked her back then, but in retrospect I realize she was fighting a lot of battles behind the scens, working hard to keep the school Catholic-not to mention out of financial dire straights! -Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roamin'Catholic Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 [quote name='USAirwaysIHS' post='1768767' date='Feb 1 2009, 06:21 PM']The Holy Spirit guided Her Church and Magesterium throughout all of history, yes, including the years of The Second Vatican Council. I have no doubt that the changes inspired during those times were to the benefit of the Church and Her people. It is how some people "interpreted" and contorted these changes that was detrimental. For instance, one didn't seem to encounter these things: -the Clown mass [img]http://www.traditioninaction.org/RevolutionPhotos/Images%20(101-200)/199-ClownMass.jpg[/img] -the "Miley Cyrus" Mass [img]http://www.recongress.org/2005/pix/ydlit/med_P2170221.jpg[/img] -"catholic" politicians who oppose some of the most fundamental social teachings of the church [img]http://www.yosemite.org/newsroom/clips2006/july/PelosiHetchy.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.kurdnas.com/en/images/stories/JoeBidenLrg.jpg[/img] [img]http://medializzy.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/581px-ted_kennedy_official_photo_portrait.jpg[/img] and less severely, -Cathedrals that look like this: [img]http://www.hughpearman.com/illustrations5/la%20cathedral1a%20.jpg[/img] -religious "habits" that look like this: [img]http://www.dcwcp.org/images/council.jpg[/img] Mind you, the latter two aren't as severe as the first few, but they still embody the spirit of informality and personal liberty that the 2VC was never intended to grant.[/quote] Your post was brilliant.
