"Not so that of the monks who chose their position voluntarily, even though I have almost come to the conclusion that those who have entered into that state at an age prior to their manhood, or are currently at that stage, may secede with a clear conscience. "
What's the meaning of this? I couldn't well understand it. Especially, "not so that" at the beginning of the text.
Could you help? Thanks
