The Iberian province of the same has 192 friars. And it has convents that depend on it in America and Africa.
If the 192 are those of the province and not those who live in Spain, then in our homeland there will be at most about 170. And taking into account the high average age of all the religious of the order of 85, they will exceed 80 years. And not a few of them 90 years. There will remain here then with less than 80 years about 85 friars. Most of whom will be between sixty and eighty years old.
With less than sixty years, they may not reach 30, So tell me what future they have. The convents that remain open to them will inevitably close one after another until the day comes to close the last one.
If the data from the article I link are not true, let them refute it. I will gladly welcome the refutation. Because the disappearance of the Discalced Carmelites is very bad news.
