Can monks live a modern life?
.Catholic AnswerIn the twenty-first century, there are all kinds of monks. Most Benedictine monks live a thoroughly modern life. They still wear a habit, basically unchanged for centuries, although lighter and more simple than earlier habits. Their diet is little different than anybody else, they teach school, work in parishes, etc. Carthusians, who are more hermits than monks, live a very austere life, not so modern. But both of them are Catholics, not Amish, so they use electricity, etc. The only thing that is not "modern" about any of the religious orders, is that they are genuinely trying to lead a religious life based on the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience. These three vows are about as far away as you can get from "modern" values as can be imagined. In that way, no they cannot live a modern life without ceasing to be monks.
