I was recently at a monastery on a tour. I have two degrees in theology and I’m working on my doctorate. When the tour guide/monk mentioned the women’s community associated with their community, I cheekily asked why they too were named for a man and not for their foundress. He misunderstood and began to explain why the local women’s community (not the order itself) took the name they did. I started to restate my question and he interrupted with, “Shhh, just wait.” After he was done monksplaining, another person rephrased my question and he gave an arbitrary reason. I love this monastery but getting monksplained is a new low for this Catholic girl.
