Caught this short note in the Chicago Tribune<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
\n

McHenry County Board members have approved a religious order’s plans to build a retreat along Harmony Hill Road southeast of Marengo.<\/p>\n

Members of Fraternite Notre Dame are expected to close on the property next month, said Joe Gottemoller, an attorney representing the order. The County Board voted 14-9 to approve the order’s petition. The four board members representing the area where the religious complex would be built opposed the petition.<\/p>\n

Among Fraternite of Notre Dame’s plans for the 65 acres in Coral Township are 19 buildings, including chicken coops, barns, a beekeeper’s cottage, print shop, bakery and quarters for 14 sisters, 12 priests and 10 cloistered sisters.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ah, then the article notes, the order is "not affiliated" with the Roman Catholic Church. Nope, and the Archdiocese of Chicago has warned against them.<\/a> The particular weirdness about this group is their various professed alliances with the United Nations. Not normally something you’d expect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
