Talk:Carthusians

message: The motto is Stat crux dum volvitur orbis and not  Cartusia numquam reformata, quia numquam deformata. The last one is a word by Pope Innocent XI.--Momo-DE 17:41, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be worth knowing when the motto was adopted: it does seem to imply a heliocentric view of the solar system. Ian Spackman (talk) 06:09, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Motto 

message: I don't understand why my recommendation was erase, the book of Halfway to Heaven (Cistercian Studies Series) by Robin Bruce Lockhart, this is not the defintive book on the Carthusian but is one of the most famous, is a recomemended reading for Carthusian novice.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Eduardo Tellez (talk • contribs) .
:It looked like a self-link/spam when I first saw it. Thank you for the explanation. -- Stbalbach 14:06, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  RECOMMENDED READING erase 

message: I removed the following external links - per guidelines for external links: the links should be directly about the topic of the article. These links are not about Carthusian order in general but about specific chapterhouses and under my reading of the guidelines should be included in those articles, but not here. But if community consensus shows a different interpretation, they are here for return. And the tripod appears to be a personal website which is also not allowed. -- The Red Pen of Doom 00:32, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Suggestion; the fact that the monks live in silence is not stated until the end of the article, and a reference to being allowed to speak is made seemingly without context about midway. Since a life of silence is one of the remarkable aspects of Carthusians shouldn't that be included in the first couple of paragraphs? -David ----24.18.203.13 (talk) 04:39, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Silence

message: At present the article jumps straight from a brief mention of the order's starting point to 'Carthusian character'! This is in marked contrast to what the articles on other orders offer. Ender's Shadow Snr (talk) 11:26, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Need a history section surely 

message: Please clarify the statement "There are no Carthusian abbeys."  The Wikipedia article on Abbey states "La Grande Chartreuse is a Carthusian abbey north of Grenoble, France."  If the charterhouses are not abbeys, what are they?  Oswald Glinkmeyer (talk) 10:58, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: They are monasteries, or more properly a collection on hermitages arranged in a pattern similar to the cinobium of orders such as the Benedictines and Cistercians (they have a cloister, church, etc).  They are not abbeys because they have no abbots (an abbey is under the leadership of an abbot, an archabbey is under the leadership of an archabbot, etc.).  If the article on La Grande Chartreuse states that it is an abbey, it is in error and should be changed.  I will edit this article to reflect this status, and the one on the Grand Chartreuse as well. 108.49.202.212 (talk) 21:44, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The article on Abbey still uses La Grand Chartreuse as an example in the photographs on the left. I'll remove it. Oswald Glinkmeyer (talk) 15:24, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: No abbeys?

message: the footnote makes no mention of Oriental Orthodox.  In fact I think it is all Orthodox - Eastern and Oriental - who do not use instruments.  But that particular fact is original research. --142.163.194.149 (talk) 16:14, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

message: on their official website it reads: "Today the Carthusian Order has twenty-one houses, sixteen of monks and five of nuns." Stjohn1970 (talk) 21:25, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
