Christian Poverty: St. Francis and Earlier Monks
A 4 page paper discussing the
differences in motivations for "holy poverty." St. Francis saw poverty as a gift, but the
early monks' view was more complex. Relying on their own physical labor and not having a
safety cushion of wealth encouraged them to find a common point from which they could
work together for the good of all. Money itself was not an evil thing, but it so often came
with greed attached to it that the early monks believed it to be only an encumbrance to be
divested. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
