message: Hello all-- I tagged the article with  after noticing that it appeared to have been copied in great part from the Bernard articleon the Catholic Encyclopedia site. I e-mailed the person who maintains the site to see if there are restrictions on the material and am waiting to hear back. -Eric talk 15:21, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Okay, thanks. I wasn't sure what to do. Do you know if there's a general consensus as to whether we should lean towards or away from copying public domain material directly? -Eric talk 17:52, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

message: One of the problems with understanding the Cistercian reform is that the concept of an 'Order' is problematic. Although the Carthusians (who aren't Benedictines) are credited with the invention of the concept, the idea of joining an 'order' and not a 'monastery' is problematic given the Benedictine emphasis on Stability. Cluny theoretically operated as a single monastery, which the Cistercians explicitly rejected. 
The specific point at issue is the tendency of this article to refer to the Cistercian order in a way that is not coherent. I've made some changes in detail; I hope they will be acceptable in the light of the above comments. Ender's Shadow Snr (talk) 11:53, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

message: The section on "Temptations and intercessions" is taken from a children's book used to prepare kids for First Communion. That is not appropriate source material. I will delete the section in a few days; if in the meantime someone can find a better source, please do. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 14:42, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

message: Why is the Clairvaux bit being pushed these days. One cannot even get to his WIKI page by way of googling “Saint Bernard” nor “St Bernard”. 2A00:23C7:2B13:9001:CC51:BCEA:6940:F505 (talk) 02:11, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
