Formation house of the Discalced Carmelites of Traditional Observance open also for those preparing to be admitted to the Dominicans and Benedictines of Traditional Observance. Carmel which bids us "Let all you do have the Lord’s word for accompaniment," we follow the traditional pre-Vatican II religious discipline and ceremonial of the "Order of the Virgin" (Our Lord to St. Teresa), drawing only
from its same sane traditional source of holy nourishment - the Tridentine Rite of the Liturgy (the Missal - una cum... Pontifice Benedicto XVI - and the Divine Office according to the norms of "Divino Afflatu" of Pope St. Pius X) - as is the desire of God's Heart:
"Stand ye on the ways, and see and ask for the old paths which is the good way, and walk ye in it: and you shall find refreshment for your souls...." "And we charge you brethren, in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from [them] who walk disorderly, and not according to the Tradition which they have received of us" (II Thess. 3.6). This is a Seminary which provides for new Levitical priests, the perpetual line (cf., Jer. 33.18) of the "ministers of God" (Is. 61.1; Jer. 33.22), who goes up to His altar (I Kings - 1 Sam in modern versions - 2.28) to stand before His Face (Jer. 33.18; why we traditionally ordained priests face rather the Cross or the tabernacle in which the Living Bread Is reserved) offering sacrificial holocausts according to the prefigured divine rite “of ceremonies and manner of worshipping” (Ex. 18.20 – deleted phrase, except perhaps forgotten by an oversight in Num. 9.3, in Protestant versions) , fulfilled and perfected in the pre-Vatican II Catholic priesthood - the priesthood "translated... a bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw near to God... [in] a greater and more perfect tabernacle" (Heb. 7.12,19; 11.1-11), now attending to the Apostolic altar of the New Testament: "We have an altar..." (Heb. 13.10) on which is now offered the Consecrated Bread and Consecrated Wine - the Sacrifice of Our Lord "according to the Order of Melchisedech" (Heb. 7.11). In particular, this is a Seminary for the Teresian Carmel of Traditional Observance (the Discalced Carmelites of the Reform of St. Teresa of Jesus and of St. John of the Cross), for those divinely called to succeed in the line of the great Prophet of Mount Carmel - the Prophet Elias called by God: to stand against a compromised official hierarchy and mainstream-people "halt[ing],” nowadays, “between" (III Kings 18.21, Latin Vulgate) the God of our Apostolic Tradition and the 'ecumenist' idol of Vatican II "New 'Catholic disOrder’ : the true God and His Church on equal footing with the infernal author of self-contradicting creeds and his anti-Church;" and, to guard the purity of the divine rite of Sacrifice from ‘ecumenical’ elements (mixed with Protestant, Jewish, and pagan thoughts and manners) and the uncompromised altar from ministers who play also the partisans of God’s enemies since the Vatican II overturn. Candidates here are discerned if they are indeed truly called to the service of God in His heavenly courts, to "come to His sanctuary" (II Paralipomenon - II Chronicles in modern versions - 30.8) in the midst of men. They shall proceed from the probations of Aspirancy (one year) and Postulancy (six months to one year) until the Novitiate (probationary membership with the reception of the religious Habit and observance of the Rule of the Order). After the Novitiate, the candidate is provided that same clerical course of rigorous intellectual formation - which was the particular concentration of self-demolition assault launched by the infiltrated revolutionaries (Freemasons and Communists*) against the institutional Church, especially its Seminaries and Monasteries - before the dumbing 'Modernization' current since Vatican II. He shall be schooled in that same divine Light which produced for the illumination of the world the minds of a St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Bernard, St. Bonaventure, St. Alphonsus, our Discalced Carmelite Father St. John of the Cross, and many other eminent Doctors of the Church according to the classical Catholic school of Philosophy (2 years) and Theology (3 years). *The testimony of Bella Dodd, ex-Secretary General of the US Communist Party, before the “Un-American Activities” Committee of the US Congress and at the Fordham University in the late 1950s, why she publicly renounced militant atheism and embraced the Catholic Faith - see more, "The Year 1929" @ ignis-dei.blogspot.com. Thus made intimates of the Spirit of Truth, armed with: the sacred knowledge of the Saints, the Apostolic discipline; and, drinking from unadulterated cisterns of the Living Water (cf., Jer. 2.13 – our traditional Rite of the Sacraments), the Catholic pastor – the Levitical priest of Old now fulfilled and perfected in him (reference stricken out in the “New Rite of ‘Ordinations’”) – manifests God “appear[ing] to destroy the works of the devil” (I Jn. 3.8), beginning from subtly deceptive errors (foundation of the reign of infernal darkness alienating minds from the Divine Reason), giving “power and strength to His people” (Ps. 67.36); not a useless pretended representative of God leaving people weak and easy prey to the assaults of the world, the flesh, and the evil spirits – as we saw in the recent case of close to 200 students in Talibon, Bohol attending the official ‘Catholic Mass’ of Protestantized ‘banquet-fellowship’ in vulgar tongue (supposed to be that same ancient source of spiritual strength and power of a Catholic) diabolically oppressed under the nose of the official ‘Catholic priest’ of Lutheran ‘presider’ ideal of minister-ship clothed with a Protestant ‘communion service’ parachute.
