But their story is a fascinating glimpse into a distant past in which being a "soldier-monk" was not an oxymoron. The bishops had need of 'police' forces that these orders served; the bishop of Rome, particularly when organised papal states were formed, needed a proper military establishment that nonetheless reflected the idealistic concerns of the church. For example, the first of all Orders, the Knights Hospitallers, of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem (also known as the Knights of Malta, where they built and defended a fortress against one of the most famous seiges in history), essentially invented and administered the first organized hospital in history. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/080282109X   (488 words)
