The Post on Venerable Bede is admirable.
It may be as well to clarify on the quote, "Bede is the only monk who is named a doctor of the Church ..."
The Roman Catholic Church has, to date, named 33 Doctors of the Church.
Among monk Doctors immediately come to mind is, St. Bernard, Doctor Mellifluus.
It may be an addtion, the 34th, in the name of Edith Stein.
We need to check.
