Cluniac Reform

The Cluniac Reform was a movement within the medieval Catholic Church that began in the 10th century at Cluny Abbey in France. It aimed to address corruption and revive spiritual practices among monks. Cluniac reforms emphasized strict adherence to monastic rules, fostering a commitment to prayer, education, and a better quality of life for monks. This movement spread across Europe, encouraging the establishment of more monasteries and promoting ideas of clerical independence, social responsibility, and moral integrity, ultimately impacting the broader Church and society during the Middle Ages.
