	Denys the Carthusian
		Having applied for admittance at the Carthusian monastery at Roermond (Dutch Limburg), he was refused because he had not reached the age (twenty years) required by the statutes of the order; but the prior gave him hopes that he would be received later on, and advised him to continue meanwhile his ecclesiastical studies.
		So he went forthwith to the then celebrated University of Cologne, where he remained three years, studying philosophy, theology, the Holy Scriptures, etc. After taking his degree of Master of Arts, he returned to the monastery at Roermond and this time was admitted (1423).
		In his cell Denys gave himself up heart and soul to the duties of Carthusian life, performing all with his characteristic earnestness and strength of will, and letting his zeal carry him even far beyond what the rule demanded.

		Origen (De princ., IV, xi) may be regarded as the only exception to this rule; since he considers some of the Mosaic laws as either absurd or impossible to keep, he denies that they must be taken in their literal sense.
		He may, therefore, with impunity deny the existence of any bodily sense in a passage of Scripture without injury to its literal sense.
		Patrizi, Beelen, Lamy, Cornely, Knabenbauer, Reitmayr, and the greater number of recent writers deny the actual existence of a multiple literal sense in the Bible; they urge the following reasons for their opinion: First, the Bible is written in human language; now, the language of other books usually presents only one literal sense.

		Eighty-two years later the Carthusians repurchased a portion of their old estate and the first stone of the new monastery was laid on 2 April, 1872.
		Montreuil has taken a special position among Carthusian houses, owing to the establishment there of a printing press from which has been issued a number of works connected with the order.
		Dom le Couteulx's "Annales" (in eight vols.) and the edition of Denys the Carthusian may be quoted as examples of the fine printing done by the monks.

	Catholic Theology - The Method/6: History of exegesis.
		So, for example, the life of a saint might be a myth, in that its point is to instruct spiritually, though it may also be completely historically accurate, and true in other senses (sociological or psychological, for example).
		So to say that the Bible is a myth is not to deny its literal truth, but rather to say that the literal truth is, in most cases, not the first point.
		When I'm analyzing a Biblical writing, I suppose that having a classical culture (greek and latin culture) it is better that the meaning of "myth" be the effective and old meaning: story which is clearly without historical truth, because we can understand better the historical context in which the authors lived.

		In this kingdom of the Dead, which his faith sees as a buried garden of God ready to burst out again in blossom upon the kingdom of the Living, Philip is as much, if not more, at home as in the sun-drenched streets where all we see is his gaiety.
		Here, surrounded by the symbols of immortal life he more than makes up for the sleep he has denied himself, by prayer in which the invisible world stands clearly revealed to his inward eye.
		He can no more dispense with this solitude thronged with spirits, a solitude denied him during the day, than could the monks of old whom he admired so much.

		Jean de Maisonneuve and Denys the Carthusian adopted a similar dismissive attitude toward the fourteenth century as a kind of unfortunate intermediate period, quite possibly through Gerson's influence.

		The spiritual man, on the other hand, became a dévot who cared nothing for theology, one for whom his own experience ultimately became an end in itself, without reference to the dogmatic content to be sought in it.
		There were still to be some remarkable contributions from great masters of spirituality which succeeded in maintaining a balance between what we may call "mysticism" and theology-Denys the Carthusian, Nicholas of Cusa, William of Digulleville, to cite three examples-but the polarization of theology and traditional monastic spirituality was by now virtually complete.
		At this stage we can take no firm position on the vexed argument among certain monastic historians whether laybrotherhood evolved out of the institutions of infant oblature, or whether it was largely a new creation of the 11th century.

		Interestingly, after Genesis and Psalms, the Song was the most frequently expounded book of the Old Testament in the middle ages.
		Denys Turner in Eros and Allegory observes this irony: "male celibates, priests and monks have for centuries described, expressed, and celebrated their love of God in the language of sex."9
		Some early theologians warned against the text: Denys the Carthusian, for example, warned that the Song should not be read by anyone under 30, and that only people who are "reformed, purified of sensual desire" will not be harmed by its reading.

		The American bishops, more missionaries than scholars, showed an early preference for the catechetical aspect of their teaching duty.
		Was not this the primary need of their immigrant flocks: to be instructed in the Faith if they lacked religious knowledge; to be reminded of it if that knowledge faded; and to be armed with correct doctrine on those points denied or controverted by members of the American non-Catholic majority?
		Surely it was their staunch catechetical sense that prompted these American prelates to increase rather than reduce their emphasis on pulpit catechetics in the decades immediately preceding the Second Vatican Council.
