To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Though Celtic S. Patrick had probably consecrated dio- Church. cesan bishops in large numbers, the Church soon became "predominantly monastic." Tribal feeling was so strong that the Church, too, assimilated itself to the tribal idea, and the Church's monasteries were her tribes. In a land where there were no cities monasteries took their place, and the bishops naturally came to dwell in them, and so to seem less prominent in their episcopal than in their monastic aspect. The '^ monks became the... chief power in Christian Ireland; and in the "sixtK," sevenfH, and eighth centuries there were many bishops without dioceses, and it seems probable that their rank,_ though not their functfon, was less important than that of the abbats, the heads of the tribal monasticism.
