If a priest wanted to found a new order of discalced Carmelite nuns, how would he go about doing so? Especially if he wanted them to be extremely Marian. Thank you and God bless!
 
Best thing is to make an appointment with the Bishop of the particular Diocese .
 
Why would a priest want to found an order of nuns? Does that happen? I thought a woman always founds the female branches of orders.

Didn’t St. Vincent de Paul form the Daughters of Charity?

First of all, the “Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel” is already Marian. In order to be part of the Discalced Carmelites, I would think you’d need to start by talking with the Provincial of the Order.
