I think you have a poor interpretation of monks. Monks in the catholic orders screw up all the time, make penance, meditate on their mistakes. They recognize that they are human, though sometimes divinely inspired, and seek to correct themselves. At least, some do, and the better orders are built that way. There are plenty of bad ones, too, as I'm sure we've all heard, who don't do any of that - Who lord their pledges of service to the lord over those they consider lesser. That style seems to be more what modern academia is following.
