Order of Port Royal

The order has no other abbeys,[3] but has at various times claimed individual friars in Ebenweiler, Dresden and Korschenbroich in Germany; Port-au-Prince, Haiti; Brownwood, Texas; Kumbo, Cameroon; and Karlskrona, Sweden.

The order's name reflects Fehérváry's view of it as a revival of the French abbey of Port-Royal-des-Champs,[1] which was suppressed in 1709 for Jansenism and some of whose supporters emigrated to the Old Catholic Archdiocese of Utrecht.

[1] In consultation with local "religious seekers", Falk changed the abbey's mission from enclosed contemplation to public ministry; revived the designation "Order of Port Royal"; and had himself ordained as a bishop.

[7] In 2017–2018, the "Swedish Province of the Order of Port Royal" was established when Nordic Catholic Church priest Franciskus Urban Sylvan became prior (and sole monk) of the "Priory of St. Stephanus" in Karlskrona.

[12] In 2019, Franciskus Urban Sylvan was removed from office by the Nordic Catholic Church after being fired as a folk high school teacher for anti-LGBT rhetoric.
