Assuming you don't use insults as a usual tactic..I declare that thou doth protest too much.

It's MYstic Monk Coffee for goodness sake. Are you suggesting that we should just let this little nugget slide? I don't think so. They are cutting into the mystic universal church mantra...intentionally...for what end is the only question.

To sell coffee.

These are CATHOLIC monks. There is nothing remotely Gnostic about them.

Seriously speaking, I do not use insults as a usual tactic. I am a literalist, as well as a devout Catholic, and, in truth, I like the unusual approach the monks are using to earn their keep. It’s a different take on those items one finds, for instance, the Trappist monks making in Europe. The name of the coffee is, I think, a reference to their contemplative lifestyle, and a somewhat catchy brand name. My question at the end of my comment was intended to show you that I was unsure of whether I misunderstood you, but meant well. And, likewise honestly, whether you and I agree on this particular thing, I do mean well. As odd as it may sound to others, I find the idea of a monastery in the wilds of Wyoming a neat idea.
