Hello, I have a question: What does the Catholic church think about kinning? Could someone's kin identity potentially prevent them from becoming a monk?

Hello,

Thank you for your question! Unfortunately, I am not entirely sure what you mean by kinning. Would you mind explaining the concept to me? I await your response so that I can answer your question with more clarity.

[crisaunty]

find your identity in christ, read the word. soak it up.

[theabbeyofgethsemani]

Forget your past! Find your future in Him!

[alexandria-thornton]

I live to honour God, and to make Him known.

[theabbeyofgethsemani]

Proud to have you under our wing Brother Alexander!

New recruits have suggested using Tumblr as a means to spread the gospel! Monastic life is a path not all are called to follow, but the young people who are called to serve the Faith in this way always bring such fresh ideas.

Submit any questions you have about the life of a Catholic Monk to this blog for a down-to-earth, honest answer!
