- If you refer back to the original post . . . the source re the foundation of the . . . Carmelite Order . . . is indicated as the . . . Catholic Encyclopedia . . . and . . . double checking today . . . it is the New Advent section of same . . . If you have a definitive reference . . . you might want to dialogue with them . . . and share same . . . when I downsized the link on my computer . . . it was headlined as Catholic Encyclopedia . . .
“I don’t know . . . why he quotes the Rule of St. Benedict.”
- Answering the second comment of statement #2 first . . .
. . . prayerchanges . . . specifically couched the original question on this thread . . . in relation to the Order of St. Benedict . . . and expressed the feeling of being drawn to the Order of St. Benedict (OSB) and was seeking similarities to the OSB . . . specifically . . . in that original question . . . (please see the original question quoted below) . . . that is why I wrote everything from the . . . Benedictine . . . perspective . . . if you will refer back to my post from which you raised this question . . . the very first sentence after the sign of the cross is the comment . . .
“- reflections on some of the Pathways of God
from a Benedictine Spirituality perspective” . . .
and out of respect for prayerchanges specific Benedictine orientation reflected in the below quoted question . . . I wrote the material from that perspective . . .
“I do not know where he got the “the perfection of the Holy Virtue of Love” for our Chrism …”
- Answering the first comment of statement #2 . . .
I would say that if one is interested in finding about an order they should contact that order or read things put out by that order or works on the order.
While the Catholic Encyclopedia is out there I would not rely on that for any substantial information about religious orders/communities.
I would also not take benedictine perspective or reflection on other orders when one is trying to learn about them.
