Descripción
Reformed branch of the Carmelite order that became its own order in 1593. Perceived laxity and abuses within the Carmelite order led to the reforms of St. Teresa of Avila and later of St. John of the Cross. The term 'discalced' refers to the practice of the reformers of wearing sandals instead of shoes and stockings. Discalced Carmelites focus on parochial and missionary work.
