Actually, the whole experience left a bit of a sour taste that was still there when I last visited Silos in 1998. Two of the monks there confirmed what had been published in various places. Lack of business experience and some bad advice yielded very little money to the monks and much disruption of their monastic routine. The money all went to other entities than the monks of Silos.
