Priory
Through their example, the cathedral friars ensure the spiritual wellbeing of its congregation.Monasticism probably originated in the east, through Coptic Christian doctrine, before spreading to Europe. The monastic life was one of seclusion and strict adherence to Christianity’s fundamental tenets - study, prayer and manual labour away from the pressures of ordinary life. Everything else was considered unimportant and simplified accordingly. For instance, the monks’ mealtimes were rigidly timed and their diets very basic. Monasteries became the centre of the communities they served, as monks were well versed in all manner of skills with which to aid the local populace, and doing so was considered an important Christian duty. As a result, monks took it upon themselves to teach poor boys the Psalms, as well as basic grammar and arithmetic. Furthermore, their study of medicine and pharmaceuticals helped advance healthcare, an area in which the western powers had hitherto fallen far behind their Muslim rivals.
