Dans le christianisme, l'idéal monastique se caractérise essentiellement par la recherche de la perfection évangélique et par la séparation d'avec la vie du monde. [...] Au cours de l'histoire, les religieux ont été plus proches tantôt des laïcs, tantôt du clergé sacerdotal. Destiné à une mission spirituelle, le monachisme a aussi constitué un pouvoir influent, parfois redoutable, sur l'Église et la société. 2, record 1, French, - monachisme
