本篤會的隱修，應(yīng)該是在人煙罕至的地方。這里卻在梅爾克高高的山崗上，而且富麗堂皇。其實，本篤的思想和教義，應(yīng)該是回避世俗，一心與上帝交流。這確實對基督的發(fā)展起到深刻的影響。在他之后的三個世紀(jì)都得以繁盛發(fā)展。但他的苦修，團體也不能脫離社會的變革，到十世紀(jì)和十一世紀(jì)，本篤會的成員們開始忘記自己的始祖圣本篤的教誨。他們開始和世俗的國王合作，慢慢的擁有遼闊的土地，甚至為君主提供軍隊，以獲得更多的利益。更多的人加入本篤會不是為了對上帝的敬仰，而是為了更多的金錢。

        再后來，盡管也有新的修會成立，繼續(xù)繼承著圣本篤的理想，但他們都沒有脫離和世俗社會的聯(lián)系，沒有隔斷和皇權(quán)的聯(lián)系。很多教會都受到皇帝、國王、諸侯的任命和供養(yǎng)。教會里的教士更重視自己的修煉，而不再像本篤會初期那樣，在百姓中布道和布施。修道院更重視修道場所的修建和裝飾，幾近奢華。

        這里面宗教的改革，戰(zhàn)爭，在歷史的長河中不斷。宗教和政權(quán)從來也沒有分割。

        這些都在梅爾克修道院里得到了印證。那富麗堂皇的裝飾，那無以倫比的教堂，那些奧地利皇帝的肖像，都不是上帝的恩惠，都不是一無所有的修士自己通過普通的勞動能夠建成的。這座十一世紀(jì)初開始的修道院，除了教義，早已經(jīng)沒有了圣本篤那時候在荒山野嶺建修道院的簡樸和清高。

        不過這教會里的歷史事情太多，不是咱能說滴清楚的。這次能到梅爾克修道院里看看這里的瑰寶，看看這里的圣殿，真的是一生難忘。
