The Cluniac Reform was a movement in the 10th and 11th centuries aimed at improving monastic life in Europe. It began at the Cluny Abbey in France, where monks sought to return to a stricter adherence to the Rule of Saint Benedict, emphasizing prayer, community life, and independence from secular influence. This reform spread rapidly, leading to the establishment of numerous Cluniac monasteries across Europe. The movement played a significant role in revitalizing monasticism, promoting spiritual renewal, and influencing the broader Catholic Church by advocating for clerical celibacy and the separation of church and state.
