the Benedict option

[Deleted]

We need this, but where do true traditional Catholics go?

By the by, those who homeschool will no doubt be familiar with IEW,  Andrew Pudewa is the developer of the program.  I never knew he was Catholic.

For the most part, Christians have had a happy — some would even say “privileged” — time of it in America, where Christianity and Christian churches were essentially left alone as they freely exercised their religion within society both privately and, up until recently, in partnership with the government.

Well, that was then, and this is now.

what does IEW have to do with the benedict option i am confused

Clear Creek is a pretty incredible place. My husband was  involved with it some years back, and we have some friends that almost sold their farm to go be part of the community. The community formed around the Abbey- it's what draws them. I do really like the Benedictine Rule. Their kindness and hospitality is indeed an encouragement in this selfish world.

I'm not familiar with either of those things - IEW or the Benedict Option

I love IEW! It's what we use for writing. Great program especially for boys who are reluctant writers. My son always talks about Mr. Pudewa. 

As as for something like this, I wouldn't want to live close to 90% of most traditionalists. Something about groups always goes wrong, but maybe I'm just burned by my own experiences, or I know too much.
