I've finally tracked down a ref to "carmes" = "carmelites apostoliques", so I'm on board with that. Sorry for being slow to get there. Still odd, though, as Chris is saying.

re. the tear-drenching, I'm pretty sure that the ex-Catholic Donne has a holy sonnet in which Christ's tears are saving blood, and I have no doubt that a French Catholic poet would be happy to take on those bloody tears himself.
