What is the history of religious orders?
score:1
Accepted answer
Strictly speaking, a religious order is a Church-approved congregation vowing poverty, chastity, and obedience that follows one of the four approved religious rules:
- Rule of St. Basil (356 AD)
- Rule of St. Benedict (530 AD)
- Rule of St. Augustine (423 AD)
- Rule of St. Francis of Assisi (1223 AD)
The Church has guaranteed that anyone abiding by these rules will be able to save his soul.
The Dominican Order (approved 1216) follows the Rule of St. Augustine.
