Passionists

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w60w3spd (corporateBody)

This religious institute, officially called the Congregation of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, was founded in Italy in 1720 by Paolo Francesco Danai (St. Paul of the Cross, 1694-1775). Their rule and constitutions were approved by Benedict XIV in 1741 and 1746. Clement XIV's bull Supremi Apostolatus (November 16, 1769) gave final approval to the institute and conferred the privileges of the old orders on the new congregation. The members take the traditional vows as well as a spiritual vo...

Jesuits

In 1534 Ignatius of Loyola, a Basque and former soldier, met in Paris with six companions to take a private vow of poverty and one to place themselves at the disposition of the pope. On September 27, 1540, Paul III issued the bull Regimini militantis ecclesiae, canonically establishing the Society of Jesus. The constitutions of the society were drawn up by Ignatius who submitted his work for approval in 1550. Along with working toward the spiritual benefits of its members, the aim of the order w...

Carmelites

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w6c86hxk (corporateBody)

The Order of Our Lady of Mount Carmel was founded in Palestine around 1154 by St. Berthold (d. about 1195) but it has claimed (without authentic documentation) continuity with hermits settled on Mount Carmel in earlier times, and even to be a direct descendant of Elijah and the "sons of the prophets" (cf. 2 Kgs. 2). The primitive rule as laid down in 1209 by Albert of Vercelli, Latin patriarch of Jerusalem, was one of extreme asceticism and solitude. Honorius III approved the definitive rule in ...

Premonstratensians

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w6325twx (corporateBody)

The Premonstratensians were founded by St. Norbert of Xanten at Premontre, France, in 1120. The founder intended the order to blend the contemplative with the active religious life. Norbertine life is intensely liturgical with particular attention given to the liturgy of the eucharist. Through Norbert's friendship with St. Bernard of Clairvaux the life also shows distinct Cistercian influences. The order suffered severely during the French Revolution and had become nearly extinct in the early ni...

Benedictines

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w6gk072t (corporateBody)

Benedictines carry on a tradition that stems from the origin of the Christian monastic movement in the third century. St. Benedict (ca. 480-ca. 550) was born at Nursia and educated at Rome. About the year 500, the condition of contemporary society led him to withdraw to a cave at nearby Subiaco where a community gradually grew up around him. In 525 he moved with a small band of monks to Monte Cassino where he remained until his death. It was here (ca. 540) that he drew up his plan f...

Dominicans

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w6sb86d9 (corporateBody)

In a broad sense Dominican refers to a family of friars (clerical and nonclerical), cloistered nuns, professed sisters in apostolic congregations, and laity, all of whom consider St. Dominic de Guzman as their founder and inspiration. In the narrower sense Dominicans refers to the Order of Friars Preachers founded by St. Dominic de Guzmǹ in 1216. Honorius III gave formal sanction to their work on December 22, 1216, and on January 17, 1217, approved their title and preaching mission. The Dominic...

Cistercians

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w6zk99w5 (corporateBody)

On March 21, 1098, the Benedictine abbot Robert of Molesme led twenty-one of his monks to Citeaux, near Dijon, to establish a new monastery where they hoped to follow Benedict of Nursia's rule for monasteries in all its fullness. The monks of Molesme obtained a papal command for the return of Robert to their monastery. The new community of Citeaux continued until 1109 under the leadership of Alberic, who introduced the idea of lay brothers being accepted as full members of the monastic family. S...

Trinitarians

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w6hn09b7 (corporateBody)

The order was founded in 1198 at Cerfroid, in the diocese of Meaux, by St. John of Matha (d. 1213) and St. Felix of Valois (d. 1212). Because of the lack of records early Trinitarian history is unclear. Recent critics have questioned the existence of St. Felix of Valois. The order is dedicated primarily to promoting devotion to the Holy Trinity. Originally its unique apostolate was the redemption of Christians held captive by the Muslims. When slavery was abolished, the Trinitarians became engag...
