[MarkBsnr]

The necessity for monasteries today is the same as it was in the past. There’s a variety of functions. Priests come out of monasteries, lay people go on retreats at monasteries. A life of prayer has value, and monastics pray for us and for the world.

The Reformed have no need of prayer. They are predestined for the limousine ride to Reformed salvation and the rest of humanity can just go to hell, with the Reformed sneering out of the windows of the limousine. The only value of prayer for the Reformed is a mechanical exercise which ultimately means nothing.

[D-fendr]

The Reformed have no need of prayer.

Don't want no dank monastic's prayer anyway it seems.
