ARE PROGRESSIVE RELIGIOUS ORDERS BUILDING MAGNIFICENT NEW MONASTERIES LIKE THIS ONE? IN A WORD “NO” THEY ARE CLOSING THEIRS, CONSOLIDATING OR GOING OUT OF BUSINESS

 Are the untraddies doing this? No, but correct me if you can.

The chapel looks more Roman than many churches built/butchered since the '60s. I wish them well.

An easy way to look at beautiful developments like this is...

...by their fruits ye shall know them!

The “fruits” of the un-traddies? Closures, abandonments, dwindling memberships (often down to zero), etc., etc.

I am NOT gloating, merely looking at what any, who have eyes, ought to see.

Gaudete in Domino Semper!

Took my a bit to remember why "Fairfield" jogged my memory. There was a restaurant there - Patty and John's - that we used to go to while in seminary in Emmitsburg, MD, just 8 or so miles away. It was, as I recall, a converted barn, and very good!
