If the monks at anytime start to hit themselves while chanting I will laugh then inexplicably start crying. I mean MONKS!!??!! Druids were bad but acceptable, but #$@#$&$%#&* monks?

To be fair in Dark Age Britain at least there are LOTS of examples of monks being present en masse on the battlefield praying for victory. Off the top of my head, there are the 1200 monks that Aethelfrith of Northumbria butchers at Chester, and there's the battle of Cul Drebene at which St Columba and many other monks are present praying for one side's victory, for which he is exiled (or chooses voluntary exile anyway). In fact it makes a lot more sense than druids really.

Monks fought, but in normal units. And they usually didn't use clubs, but maces (since swords split blood, and they couldn't do that...)

And Spongly, how much can just praying effect a battle?
