Dumfries[edit]

Note (added years later): I think this section is inappropriate in Wikipedia.
However well-intentioned, it's wp:POV and wp:What Wikipedia is not, IMHO. Trafford09 (talk) 16:31, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I look back with enormous satisfaction on my four-year term of study and contemplation, 1838-1942, with the Marist Brothers Juniorate in Dumfries, Scotland. The courses of study, the religious training, the care, kindness, and consideration of the staff brothers there have stayed lovingly in my memory since my teen years in that wonderful establishment. The discipline and teaching of brothers Jarlet, Christopher, Dominick, and others has steered me into righteous paths and guided my journey through life in ways that would not otherwise simply not have happened. And above all, there was the wondeful guidance of Brother Paul Peter Sacco who did so much for me personally, in religious training, in concentrated secular study, and above all in the outstanding example he set, an icon of what is really entailed in living a life for Jesus.

These heroes of my youth are in my constant prayers for the wonderful work they have done, and continue to do, and I bless them from the depths of my soul and the bottom of my heart.

Marist Schools[edit]

The list of schools in external links is getting pretty long. What would people think about creating a new article, "Marist Brothers Schools"? Stoneice02 22:00, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Recent changes[edit]

I just looked at the difference between the article prior to and after I edited it and it makes it looks like I deleted a bunch of items. Just to let you know, I didn't. I simply alphabetized all the schools and pulled out the people into their own group. Stoneice02 22:28, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Marist and Marianist[edit]

I glanced through both articles, and it is hard for a lay person to tell the two apart. Could anybody who knows more than I do add a subheading or references that might make the difference clear?

Later: added a link to "Society of Mary" which seems to take care of my concerns.

[edit]

The logo on this page is only that of the Marist Brothers in the US, that of the organisation as a whole is a bit different.... does anyone have an issue with me changing it to the real logo? Matt Bray 11:35, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Absolutely, go for it. I watch this page, and I would have made the change myself had I been aware of that fact! - Rob Lindsey 11:47, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Changes[edit]

I'm preesently a student at a Marist school, I hope you folks don't mind the changes I've made to the page layout etc. If you do pls feel free to change it —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mattbray (talk • contribs) 10:25, 28 February 2007 (UTC).Matt Bray 10:25, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunate Additions[edit]

Cyber-greetings,

I created my account merely to contact someone to point out some degenerate(s) added either gibberish or crude statements to the Marist Bros. page, starting under "Early History" and continuing through other sections.

I would delete them myself. However, it took a few attempts before I figured out how to even add this comment, and I don't have time now to work out the editing process.

Child abuse[edit]

The article is notably absent coverage of the various instances of child abuse committed by Marist Brothers. -- samj inout 10:13, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think there were some references in an older version of the article some years ago, but were removed as it seems. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.132.141.80 (talk) 01:12, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

POV[edit]

This article reads like a brochure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.104.181.248 (talk) 00:10, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have the time to edit this, but this is definitely not a neutral article. "transforming the lives"?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.2.182.73 (talk) 05:28, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying to edit this now since I'm a bit knowledgeable about the Marist Brothers. I just need some peer reviews but I don't know how to get it reviewed by others. Allenjambalaya (talk) 23:27, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Findings about "Marist priests" in Chile[edit]

  1. The Marist Fathers do not have a community in Chile. They are in Brazil and Peru, that is as close as they get.
  2. The Marist Brothers of Champagnat do not appear to ordain any brothers to the priesthood. I am not certain of this, but I can't find any evidence that they have ordained clery within their own ranks. Elizium23 (talk) 02:13, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  3. It now seems certain that the Marist Brothers do not have their own priests. Cristián Precht Bañados was a diocesan priest who served the Marist Brothers community in Chile. Here is a quite reliable Catholic-affiliated source about his laicization. Elizium23 (talk) 02:16, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Miguel, not Manuel, Ortega was also a priest of the Archdiocese of Santiago. Neither of them were ever Marist Brothers. They visited the communities often, probably to provide Mass, Confession, and other sacraments, and as a bonus they raped young boys. Elizium23 (talk) 02:22, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Have rm footnote 21 ["Ortega sentenced for 32 years in Richmond High rape case". 19 October 2012. Retrieved 15 May 2020.] as it appears to pertain to someone in Contra Costa County, California not Chile. Manannan67 (talk) 06:33, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Marchonore: seems to have conflated the Society of Mary (Marists) with the Marist Brothers and duplicated a lot of material into the former article that does not belong. Furthermore I am investigating his edits for copyright violation; I have reverted some of them. Elizium23 (talk) 12:52, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they do have Marist Brothers Schools In Chile[edit]

See even this article for Chilean Marist Brother Schools which have yet to close too.2601:447:4100:C120:9DF4:2174:6E35:6A83 (talk) 23:23, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Correct, the Marist Brothers have communities in Chile; per #1 above, the Marist Fathers is the religious institute that does not. The two are separate institutes. Elizium23 (talk) 23:27, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. I hope to also make clear that my edit was not at all about the Marist Fathers. The Marist Fathers and Marist Brothers are two separate institutes with two separately owned facilities.2601:447:4100:C120:9DF4:2174:6E35:6A83 (talk) 23:30, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
What edit? Elizium23 (talk) 23:34, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
My previous edits to article. In addition to my previous edits, I am about to make another edit, as I just found another Marist controversy in Chile[1]2601:447:4100:C120:9DF4:2174:6E35:6A83 (talk) 23:38, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
