Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Carolingians strongly supported the Benedictine form of monasticism, which emphasized prayer, manual labor, and obedience to the abbot. This form of monasticism spread throughout Europe and became the most dominant form during the medieval period. Merovingian and Celtic monasticism existed before the Benedictine reforms and were not as widespread. Ionian monasticism, while influential in the Eastern Orthodox Church, did not have a significant impact on Western Europe.
