Yes, indeed they are good priests, but this community that I know because it serves a parish neighbooring my home, currently endure hardships, and was subject of an apostolic visitation last year. So they need our prayers.
@BlackCappa No, they were founded in the 80's I think and Marie Domnie Phillipe NEVER left the OP's. As for Paddy Kelly: I don't know who that is, sorry.
It's the community I was talking about. Paddy Kelly was a member of the "Kelly Family" - a very popular band in Germany. He left the band and entered the monastery. He now makes religious music: one in honour of the Blessed Virgin is on youtube even.
No problem. I myself needed some time to recognize the community. They have been badmouthed a lot in German media: being "cult-like" and "ultra-conservative". The Kelly family have defended the community though.
@BlackCappa they are contemplative monks with an apostolate. They pray the liturgy of the hours together and have about two hours of silent prayer a day. As for conservative, they take after the Dominican philosophy, so you can be the judge of that.
Awesome! God bless all the faithful servants of God and His entire Church.

Is this a new order in the making?
And why did the founder think he had to leave the OP to create a new community?
Wait a minute, is this the community joined by "Paddy Kelly"?
