No one could plead lack of means or difficult circumstances as a justification for not carrying out his own religious duties and for relying instead on monks, but these duties were kept to a minimum.
Nessuno poteva invocare la mancanza di mezzi o le circostanze difficili come giustificazione per non compiere i propri doveri religiosi e per affidarsi invece ai monaci, ma questi doveri erano ridotti al minimo.
