Sherlene Stevens: Old Catholicism Way: Historical Monks

Back in the day, only the majority of Roman Catholic priests and monks could read and write. Some of the kings didn't possess such skills and relied heavily on religious leaders. European religious leaders were the only group who really studied or became learned in education, opposite minority cultures and communities of other continents.

White leadership: "My side partner--a priest or a monk."
  1. Monks lived under a vow of silence, so hush or Sh-h-h-h!
  2. Monks would live, undisturbed, in their home style, away from the secular social culture.
  3. Monks would intentionally bruise their bodies--some performed daily--as a sacrifice to God.
  4. Monks would participate in daily or routine food fasts.
  5. Monks would spend long hours in prayers or meditation.
  6. Monks, some of them, would beat their own flesh by wearing of a heavy chain. [modern male trends, Hmm]
  7. Monks, some of them, would falsify biblical events and writings of the Holy Bible to allow Roman Catholicism to be the religion of the lands.
  8. Monks lived a profession of poverty.
  9. White parents would refuse to send their children to college for fear of the monks.
"Many people are, unknowingly, participating in their communities as secular monks."

These are interesting monk-action facts for March, my hosted theme U.S. white race appreciation month.
