*”catholic religious orders” are, historically, a category of ‘catholic religious institutes’*
.
(subcategories are ‘canons regular’ (‘canons’ and ‘canonesses regular’ who recite the ‘divine office’ and serve a ‘church’ and perhaps a ‘parish’); ‘monastics’ (‘monks’ or ‘nuns’ living and working in a ‘monastery’ and reciting the ‘divine office’); ‘mendicants’ (‘friars’ or ‘religious sisters’ who live from ‘alms’, recite the ‘divine office’, and, in the case of the ‘men’, participate in ‘apostolic activities’); and ‘clerks regular’ (‘priests’ who take ‘religious vows’ and have a very active ‘apostolic life’))
(original ‘catholic religious orders’ of the ‘middle ages’ include the ‘order of saint benedict’, the ‘carmelites’, the ‘order of friars minor’, the ‘dominican order’, and the ‘order of saint augustine’)
(as such, also the ‘teutonic order’ may qualify, today mainly ‘monastic’)
(in the past, what distinguished ‘religious orders’ from other ‘institutes’ was the classification of the ‘vows’ that the members took in religious profession as ‘solemn vows’)
(according to this criterion, the last ‘religious order’ founded was that of the ‘bethlehem brothers’ in ‘1673’)
(nevertheless, in the course of the ’20th century’ some ‘religious institutes’ outside the category of ‘orders’ obtained permission to make ‘solemn vows’, at least of ‘poverty’, thus blurring the distinction)
