As a point of clarification, St. Raymond of Penyafort was NOT a founder of our Order. He was the spiritual director of our holy patriarch, St. Peter Nolasco. At the time of our foundation, furthermore, he was a Canon - not a Dominican. Butler's article about our Founder is in error. We are still very active in living out our holy charism, striving to redeem and ransom souls from modern forms of Captivity.
