Beware
In the Benedictine world there is quite a tangle about what is meant by
*Confrater*, and what is meant by *Oblate*, both in medieval monasteries and
now.
On the question raised, I am ignorant. On the question I have raised
(counter-raised), I will recall the Rule (7.61), sapiens innotescit paucis
verbis - the wise man is known by the fewness of his words.
