Beyond the Silence PART A : life of Carthusian monks revealed.

The always silent Monks speak to us at last. They talk about the how and why. In this documentary, from the French television,Carthusian life is revealed. While visiting the monastery,we discover more about their lives, praying and working in silence and solitude. And the spirituality, the driving force of their life.
The subtitles are Google machine translated.
The television channel of the Dutch Roman Catholic Church (RKK) has two interviews with Dom Marcellin Theeuwes, the prior-general of the Carthusian order. The duration is 45 minutes and the language is Dutch. But there is a English translation available.
I can not put these interviews on youtube because they are sold on DVD.

But a vow is a promise made to God before the witness of the Church …More

But a vow is a promise made to God before the witness of the Church and binding on pain of sin. But the Church knows that speaking is part of human nature, and therefore will never allow anyone to make avow of "absolute silence" binding on pain of sin. This is one of the more annoying media-idiocies that is almost never corrected.
