tree_and_leafFrom Ashley (1990) The Dominicans.
The [Dominican] community in Bologna had its troubles, including demonic incidents which, after Dominic's death, led to the establishment of the Salve Regina procession. Several of the brethren got the idea they should become Cistercians...
Possibly they didn't like demons.
I have a feeling that this may not be the most serious history of the OP out.
In other news, i had ocassion to visit the (very useful, although their comments on Protestantism and Neo-Platonism are a bit tendentious) online edition of the New Catholic encyclopaedia http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/
The sidebar adverts, however, are something else entirely. I have to admit that I was surprised that the antique prints one site was advertising as perfect gifts for first communion, confirmation, the purchase of a new home, birth of child or grand child included this charming image:
A grandchild with parents one disliked, I assume.
In its original context at http://ourladyoflourdescatholicgifts.com/Damnation.html along with many others. There's also a salvation one, but it's merely sentimental, as opposed to sentimental and insane.
NB: I have no particular axe to grind against the Catholic church (see earlier post on the latest encyclical), but this is just... bad, in a cracktastic way.
Though at least the theological reasoning behind it is easier to follow than with some of the religious tat, whether Catholic or Protestant, which I have seen.
