This guy flunks basic early modern history. He doesn't know the difference between monks and friars. He doesn't know that friars were not into contemplation but into the active life of preaching and teaching and pastoring people. The author of this piece doesn't have a clue about what life in an Augustinian Eremite friary was like.
He's clueless. Why should I take anything he says seriously? If graduate student turned in a paper with this sort of fundamental historical errors in it, I'd flunk him and tell him to become a journalist or something else where facts don't matter.

Exactly what I have noticed about every post. He makes basic, obvious errors of fact again and again and again. He really has no "feel" for Catholicism or for medieval European culture.
It's not history. It's polemic.
