What reading level is The Benedictines of Caldey Island Containing the History Purpose Method And book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Our Lord united in His Person perfect Activity and perfect Contem- plation, and the Early Church kept the balance between the two. But as the Church became secularized through contact with the non-Christian world, and the standard of Christian living was lowered in order to embrace as many converts as possible, " intensive " Christianity was impaired. Hence Monasticism arose — not as an alien growth of Oriental importation like the Therapeutae, or devotees of Serapis 117 S. JSene&ict of flursla... into heathen religion — but as an attempt to recover primi- tive Christianity, In this sense Monasticism is one aspect of Christianity. It was only natural that at first the emphasis should be laid upon solitariness, but those forms of Monas- ticism, e. G. The Egyptian, where the desire for solitude led to a false asceticism, altogether independent of episcopal or ecclesiastical control, had no place in the historical develop- ment of the Church. The same is true also of Eastern (Pachomian) Coenobitic Monachism : such influence as they possessed was limited to the sphere of Church Councils.
