If all Christians did what these monks do, Christianity would disappear in a generation.

“If all Christians did what these monks do, Christianity would disappear in a generation.”

Using your logic the same could be said if we all lived as Jesus of St. Paul did. They never married. They never had children.

Not everyone is called to the monastic life, or the celibate life. But Christian societies with flourishing monasteries never lacked for growing numbers of people. The same healthy Christian view which produces monasteries, produces fruitful marriages.
