Habemus Magister!



The Capitulars of the General Chapter of the Order of Preachers have elected the 
86th Successor of Saint Dominic: Fr. Bruno CADORÉ, OP!

Fr. Cadore is a bio-ethicist.  He has served as student master and prior provincial of the Province of France.  

Please pray for him as he begins a nine-year term as our Master.

Here's a great Youtube vid on the Chapter.  My friend and OP brother, Fr. Alejando Croswaithe is interviewed.  He says one very funny thing. . .when describing how the Master is chosen, Fr. Croswaithe says that the friars gather and name brothers that they think should be considered.  He says that the friars "offer a short sentence" on why the brother should be chosen as Master.  Dominicans offering a short sentence?  BAWAHAHA!!!

    This is wonderful!! I will be keeping Fr. Cadore in my thoughts and prayers as he starts his new mission and continues to do the Lord's Will.

    I have never heard of Father Cadore before this, but since he is a bio-ethicist and I am concerned and try and stay on top of all the latest bioethical issues I will have to check out some of his writings on this subject.

    God Bless!

    Fr. You may not want to play my game, but it is a sincere question. If Fr Radcliffe is JJ Rouseau who is Fr. Cadore?

    Anon., I don't understand the question. . .and even if I did, I couldn't answer it. I've met once the new Master once and only briefly.

    The COMPANY OF ST. DOMINIC, a Dominican secular institute of consecrated life in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Manila, assures the new Master of the Order its continued prayers and support.

    Great news! And (while I hate to sound accusative), "Anonymous" beat me to the punch on "magistrum."
