[edit] "Greek Orthodox Cistercian" monastery
Cited from the initial paragraph: [...] is a Greek Orthodox Cistercian monastery founded in 1157 in Balamand near Tripoli. There is no such thing as a Greek Orthodox Cistercian monastery. The point is that Cistercians (belonging to the Roman Catholic Church) founded Belmont in 1157. They left in 1289. Some time later on, a Greek Orthodox monastery was founded on the site of the deserted Cistercian monastery which (under the name of Balamand) continues up to today. --AFBorchert 22:33, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
