Dear redkim,
Thank you for this advice. I wouldn’t make a choice on a financial basis like that anyway, but I was simply interested to know about orders who offer this service to students or those paying off loans.
I will definitely prefer a more orthodox order that remains faithful to the Catholic Church’s teachings. I fear for you joining a liberal order, as your work will be an uphill battle in that order. They are obviously working to bring down the Church.
I think it’s only right for me to tell you that, in addition to any doctrinal heresies that this order may promote, they are also disobeying Vatican II and Canon Law by not requiring that their members wear religious habits.
The following two quotes show this:
I am not trying to condemn you, but I tell you this out of concern. I do not want you to make a decision that you will regret, at least without being fully informed.
If you want more information comparing the work of liberal and conservative orders, see this link:
vci.net/~inmanmj/catholic/lcwr01.htm. It has a telling story about the real mission of the LCWR, a liberal organization of religious sisters in the US, to which your order probably belongs.
