Spiritual Life Institute QUESTION from Harry Craft May 17, 2001 What is your opinion of the Spiritual Life Institute (the Carmelite organization of monks and nuns founded by William McNamara and Tessa Bielecki, located in Colorado, Canada, and Ireland), especially in reference to its orthodoxy and value to Catholics seeking to deepen their spirituality?
ANSWER by John-Paul Ignatius, OLSM on July 8, 2001 Dear Mr. Craft:
Sorry, I don't know enough about the Institute to make a judgment.
I do know that among the O.Carm there has been a tendency to drift away from their original charism and a tendency to delve into new age techniques and ideas. But I don't know if the Spiritual Life Institute has done that.
