Request reason:

I am not trying to us Wikipedia as a free advertising service, rather I am trying to provide factual and verifiable information regarding the Institute of the Incarnate Word, as in the past someone else who does not represent our religious order and who has there own agenda in trying to smear our good reputation has been posting their own edits to the article about the Institute. We are a non-profit organization. I simply want the truth to be made available and not hearsay rumors.

Decline reason:

I have checked the editing history of this account, and found that you have posted huge quantities of prose which was clearly intended to publicise a favourable view of your organisation. What you mean by saying that you "want the truth to be made available" is clearly that you want your view to be publicised. Here is just one example (I could easily give many more) "the monastery has served as fertile ground for the building of solid virtues and has attracted with mysterious and powerful ardor the highest and noblest of souls called to such a life". That is promotional prose, telling us what your organisation thinks of itself; it is not neutral reporting from a detached third party point of view, which is what Wikipedia requires.
