Weak -Fi-c: almost no records of personal emotional expression — "introspection and silence" as the core of character.

Мировоззрение и отношение к переменам

"The chaos and spiritual desolation of the post-Roman world exist" — the direct statement of present reality. The "absent reality" (a world already ordered) is not proclaimed.

Отношение к переменам: Executing the Benedictine order as a realistic transformation plan — a practitioner of failure-resistant staged monastic institutionalisation.
