To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"The great majority of the early monks appear to have been men who were not only absolutely ignorant themselves, but who also looked on learning with positive disfavor. " "The duty of a monk, " said Saint Jerome, "is not to teach, but to weep, " In weeping, by the way, they were proficient; one of them wept his eye- lashes off their lids and wore a cloth on his breast to catch his tears. Many of them kept themselves continu- ally under the pangs of hunger, some taking but one meal every two day...s, and others but one in a week. For two centuries the craziness lasted, and then the free and wild yoga of the desert, having developed a new element for ecclesiasticism to work upon, and having also become dangerously turbulent, passed under priestly control, and in time became the regulated monasticism that now exists. The same Dalgairns truly asserts that to the fathers of the desert the Church owes its mystical the- ology, and praises their methods of mortification and prayer, as being still obligatory on good Catholics.
