		Antony of Egypt is usually called the ‘founder of monasticism’, although he was a hermit who later travelled to give encouragement to other religious living in isolated cells in the Egyptian desert.
		There was a certain military precision in Pachomius’ method; monks could be transferred from one community to another; each house was given a local superior and all leaders met twice annually, to render an account of their community life.
		Pachomius’ rule was thus highly centralised and disciplined, as well as being austere, though not extreme (unlike some of the hermitages).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Monasticism
		As St. Augustine points out, the disciples evidently understood Jesus to include all who covet riches in the number of "the rich", otherwise, considering the small number of the wealthy compared with the vast multitude of the poor, they would not have asked, "Who then shall be saved"?
		Thus St. Benedict at the very outset, in the Prologue to his Rule, reminds the monk of the prime purpose of his life, viz., "that thou mayest return by the labour of obedience to Him from whom thou hast departed by the sloth of disobedience".
		Under St. Pachomius manual labour was organized as an essential part of the monastic life; and since it is a principle of the monks as distinguished from the mendicants, that the body shall be self-supporting, external work of one sort or another has been an inevitable part of the life ever since.
