However, this has been done often and well, and Catholic doctrine on the subject has been clearly crystallized in Pope Pius XI's "Umbratilem" (Apostolic Constitution of July 8, 1924, approving the Statutes of the Carthusians): From the earliest times [wrote this Pontiff who was famous as the Pope of Catholic Action] this (contemplative) mode of life, most perfect and most useful and more fruitful for the whole of Christendom than anyone can conceive, took root in the Church and spread on all sides. . Since the whole object of this institution lay in this~that the monks, each in the privacy of his own cell, unoccupied with any exterior ministry and having nothing to do with it, should fix their thoughts exclusively on the things of heaven~wonderful was the benefit that accrued from it to Christian society.
