What about the cheese cooperative of Nazareth, PA. called “cheeses of Nazareth”?

Well, I was only comparing one group of cloistered monks with another who have been shut down for the duration of the Covid 19 panic.   I don't think the Italian family running a retail business compares.

Although I'm not Catholic, I spent an overnight retreat with my comparative religion class at the Abbey of Gethsemani in 1973.   It was a real eye opener.   I never realized that anyone would get up every three hours through the night and into every day to pray.   They read a very long prayer list that lasted for twenty minutes at least, for private individuals and the publicly well known.

Our instructor was really excited to speak with monks who had known the venerated Thomas Merton, even though I had never heard of him at that time.
