| | ~ OD Practitioner Online - Vol. 31 / No. 4 (1999) ~ |
| | Religious orders lived in large houses, cut off from the world and, while their ministry might be centered outside the community house, the religious were obliged to return at regular times to conform to community duties. | | | For example, many female religious orders were subsequently cloistered into monastic frameworks in order to comply with the current view of the role of women in society, while their foundation had emphasized active participation and insertion into the lives of people. | | | Religious decision-making must be grounded in the faith on which mission and vocation are based. |

| | A New Order of Religious Freedom |
| | The free exercise of religion is the irreplaceable cornerstone of that order. | | | But this constitutional order depends, in turn, upon the continuing ratification of the majority who are "we the people." Among the truths these people hold is the truth that it is necessary to protect those who do not hold those truths. | | | No-establishment, the servant of the free exercise of religion, has become the enemy of the free exercise of religion. |

| | SUMMA THEOLOGICA: May one pass from one religious order to another? |
| | Secondly, on account of a religious order falling away from the perfection it ought to have: for instance, if in a more severe religious order, the religious begin to live less strictly, it is commendable for one to pass even to a less severe religious order if the observance is better. | | | Therefore a religious may not pass from one religious order to another stricter one. | | | First, through zeal for a more perfect religious life, which excellence depends, as stated above (188, 6), not merely on severity, but chiefly on the end to which a religious order is directed, and secondarily on the discretion whereby the observances are proportionate to the due end. |

| | The Augustinian Order |
| | There are also a number of religious orders and congregations which follow the Rule of St. Augustine as the charter of their religious life, e.g, Norbertines, Brothers of St. John of God, and Dominicans, as well as many congregations of sisters. | | | The Order of St. Augustine, commonly known as the Augustinians, or Austin Friars, is one of the five great mendicant religious orders founded inthe Middle Ages. | | | While other religious orders follow the Rule of St. Augustine, the Augustinians have adopted the thought contained in his writings as a clear source of inspiration for approaching gospel values. |

| | A Religious Order of this Church is a society of Christians (in communion with the See of Canterbury) who voluntarily commit themselves for life, or a term of years: to holding their possessions in common or in trust; to a celibate life in community; and obedience to their Rule and Constitution. | | | It is recognized that a Religious Order is not a Parish, Mission, Congregation or Institution of the Diocese within the meaning of Canon I.7.3, and its provisions shall not apply to Religious Orders. | | | To be officially recognized, a Religious Order must have at least six professed members, and must be approved by the Standing Committee on Religious Communities of the House of Bishops and be registered with the Committee. |

| | Teutonic Order |
| | The Order is divided into the provinces of Austria (with thirteen priests and brothers and fifty-two sisters), Italy (with thirty-seven priests and brothers and ninety sisters), Slovenia (with eight priests and brothers and thirty-three sisters), Germany (with fourteen priests and brothers and one hundred and forty-five sisters) and, more recently, in Moravia-Bohemia (ex-Czechoslovakia). | | | The Order still continued to recruit priests and nuns who dedicated themselves to hospitaller and humanitarian services, but the religious members were effectively separated from the lay and professed knights by the dropping of the requirement that the latter should live in a convent of the Order. | | | This provision did not extend to the priests of the Order whose ordination was perpetual but as a measure of prudence did include the sisters, since their employment in the outside world as teachers and nurses may have led them to regret perpetual vows. |

| | On the other hand, the obligations arising directly from the vows made by the religious cannot be modified by custom or prescription, and the abolition of abuses in such matters is not "reform" in the proper sense of the word. | | | The principle underlying this is that no religious can be held bound beyond the limits to which he may be presumed to have intended to bind himself when he made his vows. | | | In practice, the Holy See is wont to use great discretion in this matter and prefers to invite or recommend the older religious to adopt the stricter rule. |
