MEA CULPA "Poor Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon" is correct APPELATION. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ : Saint Bernard of Clairvaux founded the White cassocked, cowled
: Cistercians, which are a sub-order under " The Rule
: " of Benedict . He created the " Poor Knights of
: the Temple of the holy Sts. John "; devoted to ,
: dedicated to the Blessed Mother,our Lady. Hence , the White
: Habit. Vows of chastity, silence , poverty and prayer, and
: the labor of Agriculture and Herbology were undertaken.They
: also make very solid Ale in Belgium .Chautreuse 'Verte', et
: 'Blanc' aperitif. Made a Movie(black & white) in the
: Thirties about CHAUTREUSE ( reputed to contain outlawed
: absinthe; Green 101%proof ) and the secret formula known
: ONLY by three monks; Franchot Tone & Marlene Dietrich-
: a Romance...inside Monastery Walls ! Obviously,the Plot is
: Marlene tries to get the Monk, Franchot Tone to tell HER,
: the secret Formula. I think Akim Tamaroff is in there,
: too.'THESE' BENEDICTINES ARE NOT OUR CISTERCIANS. Don't
: forget B& B, and BENEDICTINE - cordials. Day started at
: 0400 with spoken Praise to God in Prayer as a community in
: the Main Sacristy, then back to silence a meager breakfast
: and the daily labor . Sparse sleeping quarters and even
: Sparser 'hermitages' away from the main House on the
: acreage. Prayer break Six times a day for the glory of God
: and the sake of lost, and impenitent Souls , the Day ends
: at 2200 ...... Pretty strict. It ( more or less )
: continues, Today, in this fashion as Seven Centuries ago !
: There's a Cistercian Monastery ( ORDER of BENEDICTINES ) in
: Loreto, Kentucky ( Thomas Merton was a Cistercian there-
: called Gethsemane ) and there's One.., way up , in in the
: Hills, overlooking the 'shoot`em up Cowboy country !' (
: drug Trade & guns ) outside, the College town of Cali ,
: in Columbia . And of course , 40km N.W.of Barcelona in
: Cataluna , there's ... Montserrat. Montserrat is a straight
: Benedictine operation. It's not a community of the
: Cistercian sub-Order. Compared to the 'regular'
: Benedictines which is relatively severe in itself, tighten
: your belts and "suck it up" to Be a Cistercian
: (former Warrior/ Crusader) Monk of Old. And, who knows;
: maybe even Today? I don't think so, though . Alot of Roman
: clerics today, are :"really 'Nice' Guys".
: (sorry). Cheers
