Cluny Abbey

"The abbots of Cluny became international leaders, and the monastery of Cluny was considered the grandest, most prestigious, and best-endowed monastic institution in Europe, at the head of a vast Order.

In 994, Odilo of Mercœur became abbot of Cluny and directed it for 55 years. Son of the lords of Mercœur, he was in contact with the most illustrious figures of his time. In 998 he obtained from Pope Gregory V independence from the bishopric of Mâcon, a right extended to all Cluniac abbeys in 1024 by Pope John XIX. These papal concessions gave birth to the ecclesia cluniacensis (Cluniac church). Odilo seized the opportunities presented to the order in an era troubled by the collapse of Carolingian structures and the birth of feudal society.[7] He no longer counted on the protection of the high aristocracy and came to terms with the lesser lords. He sought to calm the violence of the age, supporting the Peace and Truce of God. At Odilo's death, there were 70 houses in the Order, and Cluny had associated itself with powerful abbeys, which sometimes retained considerable autonomy.

In 1049, Hugh of Semur became abbot. He was a Burgundian, from Semur-en-Brionnais. He possessed great eloquence and political sense He completed Cluny's integration into the feudal system. The hierarchical principle of the Order was partly relaxed around 1075, so as to allow powerful and proud Benedictine abbeys, such as Vézelay, to join. The order extended into Spain, Italy and England, numbering 10,000 monks.[citation needed] In 1089,[verification needed] Hugh of Semur undertook the construction of a great new church, Cluny III.[8]"

question:

what happened to Cluny abby and the order?

answer:

"The downfall of Cluny Abbey and the Cluniac Order is a dramatic, two-part story. It began with a long, slow internal decline during the late Middle Ages and culminated in a sudden, violent annihilation during the French Revolution.

Part 1: The Internal Decline of the OrderAt its zenith in the 11th and 12th centuries, the Cluniac Order was a victim of its own success. It became fabulously wealthy from the donations of kings and nobles seeking salvation.The Loss of Austerity: Because the monks spent up to eight hours a day performing lavish, highly orchestrated musical liturgies, they completely abandoned conventional manual labor. They hired laypeople to do the farming and chores, while the monks lived increasingly comfortable, aristocratic lives surrounded by gold, fine silks, and grand architecture.New Competition: In the late 12th century, a group of disillusioned Benedictine monks rebelled against Cluny's luxury. Led by St. Bernard of Clairvaux, they founded the Cistercian Order, which championed extreme poverty, wilderness isolation, and hard manual labor. The spiritual center of gravity in Europe shifted from the wealthy Cluniacs to the austere Cistercians.The "Commendam" System: By the 15th and 16th centuries, the French Crown took control of appointing the Abbots of Cluny. Instead of spiritual leaders, the abbey was given to wealthy, non-resident nobles (including famous politicians like Cardinal Richelieu and Cardinal Mazarin) as a financial reward. They drained the abbey’s revenues while rarely setting foot in it.

Part 2: The French Revolution and the "Stone Quarry"By 1789, Cluny Abbey was a ghost of its former self, housing only a handful of monks. When the French Revolution broke out, the deep public resentment against the wealth and power of the Catholic Church sealed Cluny's fate.1790 (The Order is Suppressed): The revolutionary government passed laws dissolving all monastic orders. Cluny was officially suppressed, and the remaining 12 monks were permanently expelled in 1791.1798 (Sold Off as Scrap Material): The state seized the massive complex and auctioned it off to local material merchants for 60,000 francs.The Destruction: The new owners treated the largest church in Christendom as a giant stone quarry. Over the course of 25 years (until 1823), the magnificent Maior Ecclesia was systematically blown up with gunpowder and dismantled piece by piece to build houses and roads in the surrounding town.

Does the Cluniac Order Still Exist Today?Strictly speaking, no. The centralized administrative network known as the Cluniac Order completely ceased to exist in 1790. Unlike other medieval groups, there is no longer a distinct "Cluniac" branch of monks answering to a Grand Abbot.However, its spiritual legacy lives on in two ways:The Subiaco Cassinese Congregation: The surviving remnants of Cluniac traditions were absorbed back into the broader, mainstream Benedictine Order. Monasteries like Our Lady of Clear Creek Abbey in Oklahoma, USA, still practice traditional Benedictine life heavily inspired by Cluniac monastic customs (such as solemn Gregorian chant and traditional liturgy).The European Federation of Cluniac Sites: Today, a cultural network recognized by the Council of Europe connects more than 150 historical Cluniac ruins and towns across Europe to preserve the immense musical, artistic, and architectural heritage the order left behind."

The specific scientific discoveries made by Catholic monks and priests over the centuriesThe contribution of Catholic monks, friars, and priests to modern science is vast and foundational. Rather than being a hindrance to scientific progress, the Catholic clergy effectively birthed several major scientific fields.These are some of the most specific, world-altering scientific discoveries made by Catholic clergy throughout history:🧬 Genetics & BiologyThe Laws of Genetic Inheritance (Gregor Mendel, 1822–1884): An Augustinian friar, Gregor Mendel, famously spent years meticulously cross-breeding pea plants in his monastery garden. He discovered how dominant and recessive traits are passed down. His breakthroughs established him globally as the Father of Modern Genetics.Early Microbiology (Athanasius Kircher, 1602–1680): A brilliant Jesuit priest and polymath, Kircher was among the very first people to use a microscope to examine blood. In 1658, he discovered that infectious diseases like the plague were caused by tiny living organisms ("animalcules"), laying an early foundation for modern germ theory.🌌 Astronomy & CosmologyThe Big Bang Theory (Msgr. Georges Lemaître, 1894–1966): A Belgian Catholic priest and physicist, Lemaître resolved Albert Einstein’s complex equations of relativity to prove the universe is actively expanding. In 1931, he became the first person to propose that the universe began from a single point of origin, which he called the "primeval atom"—the exact framework we now call the Big Bang Theory.Astrophysics and Star Classification (Fr. Angelo Secchi, 1818–1878): A Jesuit priest, Secchi pioneer-developed the first system of classifying stars based on their chemical composition and the light spectra they emitted. His discoveries effectively birthed the field of modern astrophysics.The Heliocentric Model (Nicolaus Copernicus, 1473–1543): While technically a Catholic canon (a church administrative official rather than an ordained priest), Copernicus dedicated his revolutionary work De revolutionibus orbium coelestium directly to Pope Paul III. His mathematical model proved that the Earth rotates around the Sun, shattering the ancient geocentric worldview.🪨 Geology & CrystallographyThe Laws of Stratigraphy (Bl. Nicolas Steno, 1638–1686): Steno was a Danish anatomist who converted to Catholicism, became a priest, and later a bishop. By studying shark teeth and rock formations, he formulated the fundamental principles of stratigraphy (the study of rock layers)—including the Law of Superposition, which states that deeper rock layers are older than the ones above them. He is revered as a Father of Modern Geology.The Science of Crystals (René Just Haüy, 1743–1822): A French priest, Haüy accidentally dropped a piece of calcareous spar (calcite) and noticed the broken fragments shattered into perfect geometric shapes. His subsequent mathematical formulas regarding crystal structures earned him the title Father of Modern Crystallography.⚖️ Physics & MathematicsThe Diffraction of Light (Fr. Francesco Maria Grimaldi, 1618–1663): A Jesuit priest and physicist, Grimaldi discovered and coined the term diffraction. He proved that when light passes through a narrow slit, it bends and splits, laying the crucial foundation for the wave theory of light.The Electric Motor (Andrew Gordon, 1712–1751): A Scottish Benedictine monk and physicist, Gordon invented the first primitive electrostatic motor and the electric chimes, which were critical precursors to early electrical engineering and motors.The Cluniac Legacy: The Power of Scientific InquiryThis profound tradition of scientific discovery stems directly from the monastic culture we discussed earlier. Monks view studying the physical world as a way to understand the mind of the Creator. As the great Dominican friar and scientist St. Albert the Great (1200–1280) famously wrote: “The aim of natural science is not simply to accept the statements of others, but to investigate the causes that are at work in nature.” – [St. Albert the Great].If you're interested, I can:Explain how Jesuit priests mapped the surface of the moon (which is why dozens of lunar craters are named after them)Detail the story of Fr.

sometimes it doesn't turn out so well.

my point: Catholic Monks did a lot of good despite much of the monastic orders becoming jaded over time.

there are some very sick shills who seem to have given themselves over the Satanic ideology.
