MONASTERIES AND CONVENTS Monks/Nuns Looked after the poor and sick Kept learning alive • Friars Served as missionaries
(also called the Benedictine Reform) were a series of changes within the Western Church focused on • restoring the traditional monastic life • encouraging religious art • and caring for the sick and poor. • Monasteries needed land. This land was given by a Feudal lord. The lord would become the patron of the monastery. However, he would often demand the right to interfere in the business of the monastery. • The Cluny reform was an attempt to change this practice. • An independent abbot would have better success • at enforcing the Rule of the order. Cluniac Reforms
The movement began at Cluny, founded in 910 by William I, Duke of Aquitaine (875-918).The reforms were largely carried out by Saint Odo(c. 878 – 942) and spread throughout France, into England, and through much of Italy and Spain. • During its height (c. 950–c.1130), the Cluniac movement was one of the largest religious forces in Europe. At least as significantly as their political consequences, the reforms demanded • greater religious devotion. • supported the Peace of God, • promoted pilgrimages to the Holy Lands, which would have a huge impact on groups heading to the Crusades and violence against the Jews in Europe. • An increasingly rich liturgy stimulated demand for altar vessels of gold, fine tapestries and fabrics, stained glass, and polyphonic choral music to fill the Romanesque churches.
