CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Are you using "monk" to refer to any religious order? If so, there have been Dominican friars who became pope:
Pope Bl. Innocent V
Pope Benedict XI
Pope St. Pius V
Pope Benedict XIII
A monk - Benedictine:
Pope Bl. Urban V
I'm sure there are many others.

I've always been fascinated by the monastic life. I wish I could really spend 3 months in a monastary learning and observing.

It's truly beautiful. Have you explored any religious orders at all? Are there any that particularly catch your eye?The Lord's Envoy said:

Actually there are monastaries that allow that. I dunno which ones, but if you are really interested I'm sure we could find one for you.The Lord's Envoy said:

Pope St Pius V, Carrie.
I know lots about him. I grew up in St. Pius V Parish, had Dominican Sisters (of Amityville) in school.

Ah, Amityville! That explains a lot. You know, we just had one of their sisters renew her profession (jubilee, I believe) at the Priory here last month. Sr. Alice Fairchild, if I remember correctly.Michelina said:

Well, it happened to a lot of orders.

Gregory the Great was a monk!
He was the one to introduce the title "servus servorum Dei/servant of the servants of God" to the papal titles.
