On the 50th anniversary of the creation of the Federation of Benedictine Women’s Monasteries of Catalonia (Spain), the five monasteries represented are discussing the following question: what will monastic life be like in the future? This question is added to the debate about “new forms of monasticism”, “urban monastic life” and, in a more general sense, to the modernisations and “the opening up” of the precepts and practices of monastic life at this time. Faced with the ambitious monastic questioning, the author responds with five deliberately provocative debates developed out of a consideration of various chapters of the Rule of St. Benedict that raise profound questions when it comes to responding to the question presented here. Having described these five debates, by way of a summary, the article presents three ideal types of monastery in relation to the current processes of deinstitutionalisation that represent, in an overall way, three provisional responses and serve as a focus for the question discussed here.

Desde finales del siglo XI, en Cataluña, los principales monasterios y cabildos de canónigos regulares disponen de limosnas que ofrecen la ratio alimenticia diaria a pequeños grupos de laicos, diferenciados de los pobres, vinculados a ellas a través de actos de donación de alodios o de autodonación personal. En este artículo se aborda la relación entre el auge de este nuevo tipo de caridad contractual y de alguna de las formas de la familiaritas en las que derivó, y las dificultades de una parte de la sociedad durante las carestías, así como el papel que jugaron las principales instituciones monásticas, situadas al frente de importantes señoríos, a la hora de mitigar los efectos de éstas sobre la población dependiente.
