Rosalind Moss, a Catholic Answers apologist, has announced that she will be starting a new order of nuns! This is great news as her heart for God is so big, it's clear she has a desire to share it will everyone she comes in contact with! Very Happy

Hi Amber,
The Church no longer allows new "orders" in the Church. The group that will be formed by R. Moss will be a religious Congregation.

Rosalind Moss Empty Order vs Congregation?

Post by Flowerchild Fri Feb 22, 2008 2:49 am

I am sorry that I had to miss all of what Rosalind Moss said on CA yesterday. I only got maybe the first little bit in. Darn that work thing got in the Way. Mad

What is the difference between and Order vs a Congregation? and why does the Church not want any new Orders?

Hi FC,
To be a "Religious Order" the group found must follow the Evangelical Counsels, and must use one of the few approved *Rules* for Religious. For Example the Rule of St. Benedict, the Rule of St. Augustine, the Rule of St. Francis. The Church saw fit at one point to not allow new Orders, however I'm not aware of the reason.
Some Religious Orders are as follows
The Benedictines (included are the various Benedictine reforms like the Trappists)
Norbertines
Carthusians
Carmelites
Franciscans
Dominicans
The Vows of a Religious Order are more Solemn that those of a congregation. Religious Orders are Bound to live in common and to celebrate the Divine Office daily and in common.

Congregations are not necessarily bound by one of the official Regulae (Rules) and shape their constructions in accordance with their apostolate.
Some Religious Congregations include the Claretians, Salesians, Redemptorists.

I hope this helps as a partial answer.

I believe the Jesuits are an Order. I remember a seminarian friend telling me that there was some controversy when the Jesuits were founded because they allowed their clerics to pray their Divine Office in private, which was unheard of.
