Monasticism is a Christian Product  – not Catholic!

Monks, Hermits and Monastics are not a Catholic product
Monks and Hermits are not a Catholic invention and neither is the practice un-Christian. The first biblical Hermits and Monks were Jews.
The first Christian monks were not the pseudo-Catholics we know today as ‘Catholics’  (those did not exist yet). These monastics were just repented and baptized persons ‘Christians’ with a calling to devote themselves to God in this manner.
When Martin Luther converted to Protestantism and ditched  ‘Monasticism as he knew it’ (corrupted),  the protestants from then on largely rejected this practice, even though Jesus explains that such persons (of course, when genuine) are acceptable him.
