How were the monks different from other members of the clergy?
The term 'Clergy' means anyone who is ordained. In the Roman Catholic, Anglican and Orthodox Churches among many others) there are three 'levels' of ordination - deacons, priests and bishops. These are collectively known as clergy. All other offices (monseigneur, archdeacon, canon, dean etc) are purely administrative or honorary. So the term 'clergy' means anyone who is ordained both in monsteries or in the community as vicars, parish priests, chaplains and so on. Monks, however, always live in a closed community. Monks may or may not be ordained as priests, deacons or bishops, but they all have one thing in common. They live in a community called a monastery (or abbey). This means that they have to fulfil the rules of their particular order of monasticism (e.g. Franciscan. Benedictine etc) and contribute to the community through communal prayer and service.
