Monasticism arose from the ruins of the Roman Empire and by the opening of the Dark Ages it had become the refuge of Christian piety. A glowing description of monasticism as it developed under such figures as Columbian, "the saint afire with Irish enthusiasm;" Brendan, who founded his monastery at Clonfert on the Shannon and lived to see it frequented from far and wide; St. Benedict, the greatest of the monks, who established a pattern of the religious life still in existence; and St. Gregory, greatest of the popes, who more than any other man prepared the See of Rome for its triumphant emergence In the Middle Ages. St. Gregory was the man who led civilization "from darkness into a light which the shadows of the Dark Ages already lengthening around his path could never subdue."
