Excerpt from A Catholic Dictionary: Containing Some Account of the Doctrine, Discipline, Rites, Ceremonies, Councils, and Religious Orders of the Catholic Church The status of these early abbots, as of the monks whom they governed, was a lay status. In the great monastic colonies of Palestine and Egypt, each containing several hundreds of monks, there would be but one or two priests, admitted in order to the celebration of the divine worship. But the proportion of ordained monks gradually increased, the bishops being generally glad to confer orders upon men, most of whom were of proved virtue. For abbots ordination before long became the rule: 'yet even in the ninth century we read of abbots who were only deacons, and a Council of Poitiers in 1078 is still obliged to make acanon enjoining u on all abbots, on pain of deprivation, t e re ception of priests' orders. The ogiginal lay character here referred to must of course not be confounded with the status of those profane intruders described by Beda in his letter to Egbert, archbishop of York, who were rich laymen pretending to found monasteries for the sake of ob taining the exemption from civil burdens which monastic lands enjoyed, and could only be called pseudo-abbots.
