A Viennese monastery famous for its chart-topping chant album is also breaking records for vocations. What is the secret of its success? (via Cal Catholic Daily)
In the main photo there is apparently a female altar server, probably one of the visitors at the monastery for their "Youth Vigil." Was that really a pastorally necessary choice?

Drawings for Our Lady of the Valley Monastery
A New Monastery in the Midwest by Matthew Alderman
monastery website
website for the nuns
Cistercian architecture - Gothic...
Wisconsin. Is the monastery readily adaptable to declining availability of cheap energy for heating and electricity and so on? Are the nuns ready for surviving tough winters? How much of their own food will they be growing (and preserving)?

Charity is not an emotion. Is the "ethics of care" dominated by compassion and emotion? And can compassion replace the order of charity? I find the study to be junk designed to make the less or non-religious look better than their "religious" peers.

Sadly, you'll also find things like this at NPR: 'Unprotected Texts': The Bible On Sex And Marriage
"Pastor Jennifer Wright Knust says the Bible often contradicts itself on topics relating to sex and desire."
A woman pastor. "It figures." (Yes, men are dismantling Christianity as well, because St. Paul was limited by his times.)
