Monasticism is a far cry from the HATRED of sex and women!
The literal war that was waged against the Celtic Church because of differing Monastic traditions (the date of Passover and Monastic hairstyles among other issues) shows the weakness of the Roman Church.
Jerome was so hungup about sex that he stopped BATHING because he feared that it would lead to LUST. PLEASE...........
These men were emotionally and mentally SICK!
Their hatred of women was legendary.
One more reason that they felt that the Celtic Church must be subdued at all costs!
A Church that allowed women virtually equal roles..............the Roman Church was against any idea such as this!

I think it is tainted by Jerome's hellenism at points, but I also think of it as an alternative to the Septuagint. It contains Hebrew from a precursor to the Masoretic text, so that sounds pretty useful.Sure chastity for clerics is a Western invention, but I also apreciate the Monastic life he incentivated.
