   The Rule of Benedict has been cited as the first known example of captialism, because it advises that the monastery should always sell more cheaply than others.

   .

   It only works if they produce so much that others cannot also sell their wares.

   Some monks keep themselves going by making and selling wine and spirits.

   You guys ever hear of Christian Brothers or Dom Perion (sp?, Dom Perion discovered champagne by the way), by the way, Dom is Frog-speak for Abbot and the Christian Brothers is the name of their holy order, just thought you’d like to know…one other tidbit for any Catholics out there, St. Benedict also warned to keep Priests from key positions within the Abby as they have a tendency to take over, St. Benedict was, after all a brother not a Priest.

   1. Ignore vow of poverty
   2. Become filthy rich at all costs
   3. Go to confession and be forgiven all misdeeds.
   4. Repeat until it becomes standard business model.

   Yeah, well, historically speaking, the orders seem to need a through reform every two hundred years or so. Often for that reason, but not quite that extreme.
