It is holy and wholesome, I confess, to speak (o fathers) of your commonwealth, both holy and religious; but [this befits] a learned, an erudite, a holy man, and one suited to persuading—such as I know myself not to be, who indeed am poor in talent, naked in merit, uncultivated in speech. How, then, should I dare presume to speak of so excellent a commonwealth, who am slow to invention, unpolished in speaking, cold in persuading? Another orator, therefore, fathers, another ought to have been sought out for you: one to whom natural talent would supply strength for speaking, erudition understanding for teaching, and for persuading no less learning than merit would befit. But why do I strive in vain, why am I compelled to obey? Although, therefore, the burden imposed far exceeds the strength of my talent, yet, trusting in the compassion of the Almighty and the support of obedience, I shall undertake the enjoined work not so much gladly as cheerfully. Nor will Plato be necessary to me here, nor Aristotle in his eight [books], nor Cicero in his six volumes on the commonwealth: for our Lord Jesus has, in today's Gospel, furnished abundant matter on this subject for our purpose to discuss, when he said: \"A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, who fell among robbers,\" and so on. Although this parable is principally to be understood of the perdition of the whole human race, yet nothing prevents us from interpreting it also (saving the faith) of our own commonwealth.

Of them that saying of the apostle Paul is most fittingly understood: “They went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, needy, distressed, afflicted, of whom the world was not worthy; wandering in deserts, on mountains and in caves and in caverns of the earth.” The integrity of the monks’ life then deserved to be exalted, when by word and example it converted many from iniquity to righteousness. But even now the world is unworthy of such monks, since it spurns the love of God, rejects truth, and despises knowledge of the Scriptures. The Church too flourished in learning and holiness together with our commonwealth, so long as it received none but learned men into the government of souls, and admitted none but the devout. For devotion is not enough for the government of the Lord’s flock, if knowledge of the Scriptures is lacking. But now our monks and abbots are neither devout nor learned; for that reason they are judged unworthy for the governance of churches. What if I should say that the commonwealth of the Church at this time is unworthy of learned and holy rulers? For I think there is no one who could justly be angry with me on that account. For Scripture says of God, the supreme ruler: “Who makes a hypocrite reign because of the sins of the people.” Learned and at the same time devout prelates of churches are rare in our times. Why? Because they are chosen not by the Holy Spirit, but by men. And so it is. But enough of this; shall I proceed to what remains of our subject?

For you are the ones who, lying in the deformity of your former life, confound our commonwealth, spurn discipline, and scatter the order. O holy religion, O venerable mother, O commonwealth of monks once honored, to what misery have you come! Where now is the adornment of your former beauty? Where is holiness of life? Where the saving study of the Scriptures? Where are learned and holy abbots? Where are monks devout in regular observance? Behold, you hold more than ten thousand monasteries under the order; of these we believe scarcely a thousand have been preserved in any observance of the Rule. For your abbots, with regular discipline despised and care of souls neglected, are given over to the vanities of the world, intent on earthly riches, submerged in the delights of the flesh. For as a certain outstanding versifier, still surviving, says: “Our abbots and prelates of churches, the worship of the heavenly ones neglected and the command of the Thunderer despised, indulge Bacchus and serve Venus. They carry sacred things unclear; they build altars with coins. With gold they pour libations of wine; with gold the ceilings gleam. They cover whores with gems; they set feasts before dogs. Adorned with the spoils of the poor, and rich from plunder, unclear, they laugh at the heavenly ones and Acheron alike.” There is in them no care for the salvation of souls, no love of God, no reverence for the saints, no exercise of virtues. Would that our observance did not have such abbots; would that our commonwealth knew no such rulers. But I fear, rather, if it is right to say it, I know, that among our own also such men are found, who are reformed in name but in truth deformed. There are, I say, abbots glorying in the name of reform, ambitious, vain, proud, given over to the pleasures of the flesh, who, impatient of seclusion, consider every occasion suitable by which they may migrate hither and thither at the greatest expense. Behold, that man, despising regular discipline, sits the whole day as a curious guest at frivolous unclear; this one, making little of the meekness of the saints, involves himself in the cases of litigants; that one remains playing at the gaming-board; this stupid one dances to the drum. What shall I say of buildings, both curious and superfluous, which are liable to censure no less than to expense?

Shame does not allow me to speak of the other plagues of certain abbots: lust, the eating of meat, the abuse of baths, games, and hunts. Would that those might be cut off who by their pestilential morals confound our observance. Behold, reverend fathers, we have briefly heard what the state of our commonwealth is; it remains now for us to think of its remedy. For, descending from Jerusalem to Jericho, it has fallen away from its former beauty; it has fallen among robbers, because from the time of Henry IV it has lost more than five thousand monasteries from the order. I do not speak apocryphal things, nor do I report uncertainties, but things manifest which I have found from the writings of the ancients. Therefore the robbers who have despoiled our commonwealth are, first, demons, who kill the souls of monks with the wounds of vices; second, greedy men, who plunder for themselves the monasteries of our order. Therefore our commonwealth lies naked and torn, since it is seen to be despoiled within by its own, without by strangers. The priest and the Levite, seeing its desolation, passed by, because, despising our affairs, all seek the things that are their own. But our Samaritan, the Lord Jesus Christ, seeing the desolation of our order, moved by mercy, bound up its wounds with hope, when at various times he renewed it to regular observance. On the next day, bringing forth two denarii, namely love of God and of neighbor, or certainly the increase of spiritual and temporal goods, or understanding and action, he gave them to the faithful innkeeper, saying: Take care of him, etc."},{"alignment_precision":"segment","annotations":[],"chapter_id":"ch-9","html_id":"p-en-0011-0002","id":"trc:prdl-24372_de-republica-ecclesiae-et-monachorum-ordinis:seg-0011:p-0002","kind":"paragraph","language":"en","segment":11,"segment_id":"trc:prdl-24372_de-republica-ecclesiae-et-monachorum-ordinis:seg-0011","sequence":2,"targets":{"parallel":"works/prdl-24372_de-republica-ecclesiae-et-monachorum-ordinis_parallel.html#seg-11","reading":"works/prdl-24372_de-republica-ecclesiae-et-monachorum-ordinis.html#p-en-0011-0002"},"text":"The faithful innkeeper was Charles the Great, emperor, who was the first to reform our fallen order in Germany.

Innkeepers were the authors of the Italian reform of Saint Justina, which, persevering down to the present day, has been honored with many privileges by the supreme pontiffs. An innkeeper was Emperor Sigismund with his helpers, who began the Melk reform in Austria. Faithful innkeepers also were those who furnished the beginnings of the Kastl reform.

You, I say, are innkeepers; see to it that you are found faithful. To you the true Samaritan has entrusted the sick order; it is required of you that you pour into its wounds the wine of the holy Scriptures and the oil of devotion. For, as we said above, by these two things our order once shone forth in glory. Therefore, if you desire to reform the commonwealth, or even to preserve it in reform, devote yourselves to the study of letters and to holiness of life. Let none of you say: What need is there for me to range through many things by study, when a few things can suffice for living well? Believe me, fathers, for an abbot to live well it is not enough to know only a few things. For if a few things sufficed, the holy fathers would have written so many volumes for the formation of morals in vain. For an abbot must be learned in divine law; and if the study of letters conferred nothing else, nevertheless it is useful for the extirpation of vices, as blessed Jerome says: Love the knowledge of the Scriptures, and you will not love the vices of the flesh. Nothing so contemns the world, nothing so tames the flesh and lust, nothing so kindles the love of God, as ardent study and love of the Scriptures. Therefore let no one excuse himself from holy study; let no one call the lack of teachers a fault. Love conquers all things; charity can do all things; humility suffers all things. If a teacher is lacking, O brothers, read the holy fathers, instructing you in their volumes.
