Discalced Carmelite Seculars (OCDS)  
St. Pope John Paul II, our favorite Carmelite!

What is Pope John Paul II's affiliation with the Carmelites?

In a letter to Cardinal Ballestrero OCD dated 14 September 1981, the Holy Father had said:

"From Childhood we have been so closely linked with the sons of the admirable St.Teresa that we became a Carmelite tertiary."

(A souvenir of JPII's visit to Britain, 1981. Printed by the Nuns of the Darlington Carmel. p15)
