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

You can call yourself anything you like..but people will only see the word Mystic. In current common understanding, Mystic is lumped into the GNOSTIC arena and Mount Carmel is highly and most currently heralded by GNOSTICS in all of their universal church teachings.

If they are indeed Catholics, why are they risking this misunderstanding? Can you explain it or are you just going to go into protectionist mode? If you go into protectionist mode, I warn you..it does not cut it with me or the millions of other Americans who understand BS-inese.

IT’S COFFEE. Only weirdos will assume the word mystic in a coffee title implies gnosticism.

“In current common understanding, Mystic is lumped into the GNOSTIC arena and Mount Carmel is highly and most currently heralded by GNOSTICS in all of their universal church teachings.”

What? Common understanding? I don’t think you know what common understanding is. You’re the ONLY ONE who is making the nutty leap to gnosticism here.

“If they are indeed Catholics, why are they risking this misunderstanding?”

There is no risk of understaning except on the part of morons who misunderstand things all the time no matter how obvious they are. Again, YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE who is assuming these people are not what they are simply because of the word ‘mystic’ in their coffee name.

Again, I have to say this: IT’S A COFFEE. Coffee. Not a religion. COFFEE. Is that sinking in yet? If you go to Mystic Mountain in Pennsylvania do you assume you’ll find Gnostics there? You’ll be sorely disappointed.

“Can you explain it or are you just going to go into protectionist mode?”

Honestly no explanation is required but one was already given. I do not think that mocking stupidity is ‘protectionist mode’. Those who think a coffee named mystic indicated gnosticism might.

“If you go into protectionist mode, I warn you..it does not cut it with me or the millions of other Americans who understand BS-inese.”

I don’t think you understand much of anything, and any warning from you on any subject is laughable.

Not only are they mystic, I have it on the greatest authority that they are part of the Vatican UFO hoax.
