What impact did monks have in society outside the monastery?

answer; i had to look this up and the only one i found was(last only 15 minutes) plz check first and good luck;

the language of nature was a manifestation from god as he said "let there be light" and there was light the world began to assume visible, comprehensible form.

what ever we know now think of the old vision of creation we can be sure that with out the speaking of word -without language- we would have no science today with its striking power to illuminate the world.
