This female narrator couldn't possibly be more condescending.
-
The title is misleading. There were at least 10 Benedictine monasteries in Ireland when this was filmed. Cistercians and Olivetans are Benedictine.

My brothers, continue the work of the Lord. In Him shall your needs be provided. Peace Love
-
Russia and the Eastern Orthodox monasteries are all being rebuilt to their old glory and are full of nuns and monks. We need to do the same in the West with our Roman Catholic religious houses and buildings.

Benedictine Fathers please pray for me.
-
The narrative approach here is incredibly sardonic.
-
I just recently got this book! This is gods work!

Quote to SHARE by St. Teresa of Avila "Behind each priest, there is a demon fighting for his fall. If we have the language to criticize them, we must have twice as much to pray for them."

Friars may not take money from the government or the church, they must earn it. They take a vow of poverty, and use money to keep helping the poor.

Excellent
-
Wonderful stuff! I loved that blonde Irish woman - she's so enthusiastic! That lovely Irish accent too!
-

Now perhaps I misperceived it but the female narrator seemed more than a tad snarky in my estimation. She reminded me of a rather pervasive attitude that seems rather disquieting among those who are without faith and in the media, a kind of sarcastic and judgmental tone of speech and choice of words, but with just enough nuance to not quite earn the label of bigot while getting a knowing nod from her brethren. You see it in the media all the time and the best you can hope for is that they keep from adding their personal spin in what they report. Inevitably much like a flea infested dog they cannot help but scratch the itch having to offer some kind of shot which at once reveals their candid opinion. It is the same smell of bigotry that has ever been but today it seems more so in some quarters. as for instance among the media, I call such things from the ocean of information and sea of misinformation a snark attack. A nip here a nip there. A knowing kind of snarky talk they use. A verbal wink. I find the theater of life sufficient without the need for spin in the media.

Nothing wrong with promotions when you work for God.

This documentary is slightly disturbing. Tbh it makes the ears burn off me as a Catholic. I expect it to do the same for many others. Not so much for the benedictines and their carry on (which is fine). Rather because of the hostess and what she is saying about the church and how the book replaces the priests which is utterly ridiculous...
-
No longer true. We now have Silverstream. Deo gratias!
-
seliing a CD with chants is unholy>>>> this woman should apologize from everyone for her foolishness.
