Describing the religious situation in the 11th and 12th centuries, the Revue d’histoire et de philosophie religieuses states: “In the 12th century, as in the previous century, the morals of the clergy, their opulence, their venality, and their immorality, continued to be called into question, but it was principally their wealth and power, their collusion with the secular authorities, and their servility that were criticized. ”
Kirjeldades religioosset olukorda 11. ja 12. sajandil, märgib Revue d’histoire et de philosophie religieuses: „Nagu eelmiselgi sajandil, peeti ka 12. sajandil vaimulike moraali, nende rikkust, nende äraostetavust ja nende ebamoraalsust, ikka küsitavaks, kuid eeskätt kritiseeriti nende rikkust ja võimu, nende kokkumängu ilmalike võimudega ja nende orjameelsust. ”
