The Frank Friar Discussing St John of the Cross's 'Dark Night of the Soul
St John of the Cross. or San Juan de la Cruz, is a Doctor of the Church, one of the great spiritual writers, and a Carmelite. He and St Teresa of Jesus (St Teresa of Avila) were the 'rebels' who founded the Discalced Carmelites, the 'other Carmelite Order' to the Order of the Brethren of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, in which I am a Tertiary. However, they are Carmelite and their teachings are valued in both branches of the Order.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
