That was some serious trolling there.

I was impressed with the list of possibilities he considered as well.

Indeed- loved that it wasn't just a tossed out troll, but well considered. I also am happy to learn about the Rule of St. Benedict, of which I had not known before.

douglas - try reading In This House of Brede, a wonderful book about a monastery of Benedictine nuns. Lovely read, interesting rule.

Thanks Elise. Sounds like another book for my rather large Tsundoku pile.

Yeah, me, too. Good thing the headboard on my bed is a cabinet....

The Rule makes far more sense and is more internally consistent than most Codes of Conduct I've seen over the last 5-10 years. And you can't say that Benedict's Rule has not been tried before.
