Coat of Arms
[edit]The coat of arms depicted appear to be those of France with an escutcheon of Burgundy; i.e., more appropriate as the arms of the Abbey of Citeaux rather than of the entire Cistercian order.
I disagree: it is the coat of arms for all of the Cistercian order, but all the individual abbeys, priories, &tc have their own coat of arms in addition to this. Please visit the OCSO official website for confirmation. +Br Geoff van der Weegen O.Cist (brabo@talktalk.net)
"main body of the order"?
[edit]The article says that the Common Observance represent "the main body of the order", but a sentence later points out that the Strict Observance significantly outnumbers the Common Observance. Why does the CO represent the main body? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 22:27, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
- Because the Trappists were the breakaway and the CO are the mainstream. The USA has a bigger population than the UK, but that doesn't mean the USA is the real British Empire! Ender's Shadow Snr (talk) 11:39, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
Reformation section
[edit]The text only discusses the experience of the order in England, whereas dissolution would have occurred wherever Protestantism came to be state religions. So there's a need for a country by country analysis of the record. Ender's Shadow Snr (talk) 11:41, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
