They don't give up.

The discipline of that order is among the strictest in the Church. Their purpose is prayer, they are hermetic, they don't normally engage in any kind of controversy or worldly business beyond running retreats and spiritual seminars.

And while they have their own lines of authority within the Order and the Church, they tend to be very respectful of Church hierarchy and the higher levels of clergy.

It would take a LOT to get them to go this far.

But once they've gone, they ain't gonna go back.

This one could go clear up to the Pope.

And if he don't do them right, maybe to God.

If the Bish knows what's good for him, he'll opt early retirement ASAP.

My money's on the sistas.



interestedly,
Bright
