The International Fellowship of Saint Bruno (IFSB), a lay group close to the Carthusians, asked Dom Dysmas de Lassus, the Carthusians' Superior General, about recent events in Marienau charterhouse, Germany.
Marienau is the monastery with the worldwide largest Carthusian community, more than thirty. De Lassus lives in the Grand Chartreuse in France.
