Best Answer

Medieval monks practiced vows of chastity, silence, and poverty, which is why they generally lived in communities together. As the middle ages wore on, corruption ran thick, and monks found loopholes to communicate with one another and reasons to practice simony, which is the selling of church positions. They also sold absolution, which resulted in bloodthirsty warlords having private abbeys of monks who solely prayed for their patron's eternal soul.
