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.

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.
Pax et Bonum.

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"?

@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.

@BlackCappa to answer your question yes, Paddy Kelly is a CSJ priest. I recignise the habit as such. Sorry for all the confusion.

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.
