In a monastery when a group of monks take a vow of silence what is the title of the group leader who continues talking and representing the others to the outside world?
Roman Catholic AnswerIn the monastic tradition, the most common vows are three: 1) stability, 2) conversion of manners, 3) obedience. In the religious tradition (men who takes vows but are not usually in a monastery) the three vows are 1) poverty, 2) chastity, and 3) obedience. In a very few instances, there may be an additional vow, for instance the members of Society of Jesus (Jesuits) take a fourth vow of special obedience directly to the Holy Father. In all these cases there has never been a vow of silence. Most men in the Benedictine tradition, which would include Cisterians, Trappists, Carthusians (hermits) have some, or a lot, of silence in their lives, but no vow.Nuns who are cloistered have some special sisters, termed "extern" sisters who go "outside" the convent to do the shopping, etc. Perhaps that is what you were thinking of.
