P.S. Sorry for my many typos in my above post: It's "Easter", not "Eeastern", etc.

Yes, I noticed them ER. I was going to say something but you
seem to have noticed a bit too late - curiously, this deals out a
kind of urgency to your post. Funny how that works. You were
in TOO BIG OF A HURRY to proof-read it, and now we get the
feeling that this is AN EMERGENCY.

Well, you're right, it was and still is an emergency. How funny that my typos unintentionally underlined it...

Two good priests from the resistance told me this Carmel story which was new to me. They said that this is an important event for the resistance, but also that the devil is in rage and tries everything to hinder these brave Carmelites from quitting the unfaithful Neo-SSPX on Easter.
I was instructed to triple my rosaries for these Carmelites now because of the Easter "dead-line". Knowing what an unworthy prayer I am, indeed I hurried to call for back-up here on Cathinfo with you many traditional English-speaking Catholics.

By the way, this Carmel's oldest sister is Mother Superior (year 1958 IIRC) and the youngest Carmelite was born in the 1980'ies. So the age-composition is healthy and future-proof.
(In the liberal Neo-SSPX usually the unversed young are superiors and the wise elders are vicars...)

Fascinating. But more importantly, it is great news.

Thanks very much. Good job. Even the typos. They look good!

Thanks for your post, and thanks to all Cathinfo readers who now say the rosary for the Carmelites.

P.S. My favorite typo in the opening article was: "Many tanks!"
P.P.S. My native-language I can write much more correct. You'd love it, Neil, but alas, there was Babylon...

May God Bless the Carmalites!!

Absolutely fantastic news to fortify the resistance!!!

Does this mean that this Carmel has lost financial assistance from the SSPX and will suffer? If so, then in my opinion the Resistance needs to provide more than prayers for these faithful contemplatives.

An afterthought:Is this the sister-order to the one started by ABL's bio sister? Who owns their convent? If it is +Fellay & co, they may have to pack up.
