A few details I should clarify:
Benedictines, while in practice they do live a life of celibacy and poverty, do not take explicit vows to that effect in their rule. Rather they have a different set of vows particular to their order that includes "stability" which adds contrast to Franciscans who have lived as wandering preachers in the past. Here is a Benedictine website with further details.
www.conceptionabbey.org/monastery/monastic-vows/
Likewise, the Dominicans do not have explicit vows of poverty and chastity, but both of these ways of life are contained within their singular vow of obedience.
www.friarly.com/the-vowed-life.html#:~:text=We%20make%20only%20one%20vow,the%20Master%20of%20the%20Order.
I apologize for any confusion. Basically I should have said evangelical counsels, and not stressed the vows as such.
Edit: A few more supplemental notes for clarity since this is a complicated topic.
-My stickfigure guys have hoods if they are monks, and no hoods if they are mendicants, but this is just for clarity as mendicants (such as Capuchins) may also have hoods.
- I describe the mendicants as intermediate movements, but I want to make clear that it is not as though Christian charity did not exist among religious until the 1100's. This should be obvious, but I want to say it expressly.
-The Poor Clares are associated with the mendicant movement, and like their Franciscan counterparts they rely on the donations of others to live their life, but they have historically been nuns rather than sisters who do external ministry (like the sisters of charity). This is a little confusing, so I wanted to point it out specifically just so no one is confused why there are Poor Clares who live cloistered lives. Like all religious orders, there are a lot of variability with regards to this - and some Poor Clares do live active lives like their Franciscan counterparts.
-Someone in the comments has mentioned that there are Missionary of Charity Brothers (and Fathers), so a male movement was created in the same tradition as the Missionaries of Charity. I should have found a better example of an all female order to mirror the all male Jesuits.
An example of a religious order of only women is the Sisters of Life. Mind you that they are a recently new order but there is no male counter part. I hope this helps. Great video!
Paz y Bien, I thank you for the great videos you're putting out. Thank you for your teaching and helping us grow in our faith. GOD Bless your family and you. Robert from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
I'm aspiring to be a Third Order Carmelite and this video will help me explain what I'm trying to do to my family, friends, and coworkers. Thank you for the video, and for all that you do. May our Lord bless you! ❤
Wonderful! I'll say a prayer for your discernment.
Why are you trying to do something to your family, friends and coworkers?
Congratulations!! I have finished the year as an Aspirant and now in the second year of Formation. God willing, I will be making my First Promise Dec 2024.
May God bless and guide you on your journey to o eternity!🙏🏻✝️🕊️🕊️

@JellyBeanFluff God bless you! That's an admirable endeavor.
It's really ok, your doing good and great! I'm a very happy and grateful New Catholic convert...age 58..and I took awhile learning how to pray the Holy rosary, and so many other things. But I thank God for everything about our Holy Catholic Church and Faith! God bless you all
Welcome! May God bless you on your journey.
This is a very good introduction. One thing I don't know much about is what is a third order, but I'm starting to think it will be good for my spiritual life to join one of them. I think in my hometown there's at least third orders from Benedictines and Franciscans.
Thanks for watching, good look on your faith journey.
This is definitely one of your best videos, absolutely saved me from understanding all these names 😅😅
Glad it was helpful!
In the neighborhood where I'm residing there is the Order of St. Augustine (Friary) and the Augustinian Monastery of St. Rita of Cascia. Our town is divided by two parishes, the religious order (OSA Friars) for the northern villages and the diocesan in the town center & southern villages.
wow; can you exoain me this..
I loved this video. I work for Salesian priests and I didn't understand until now. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Very concise and clear explanation!
Well done!
I also liked the esthetics of the visuals.
this is a very clear introduction to these differences. It will take time for me to retain and actively be able to discern each difference since they seem to blend but are very clear in several instances. awesome video.
There are actually male members of the Missionaries of Charity:
The Missionaries of Charity Fathers
The Missionaries of Charity Brothers Active
The Missionaries of Charity Brothers Contemplative
I did some work previously with the Missionaries of Charity Brothers in India and they were actually the first Religious Community I reached out to
According to the missionaries of charity website, they do not have any male members.
www.missionariesofcharity.org/about_us.html
Are the missionaries of charity fathers a new order?
thanks to your wife :)
I love videos like this - packed full of info and straight to the point.
I know that Salesians (founder St. John Bosco) also have a congregation of women
visitandines
That was excellent... Thanks
I love this video
Father Martin Luther was an Augustinian Friar. He was not a Monk.
So, does your wife understand all this? I still find it confusing and kind of redundant
I believe so. What do you mean by redundant? Or do you mean why all the many religious orders exist?
Nice video, but I will have to watch it 20 times to get it.
Better get to it then
Do Roman Catholics give all bielievers or layman in the church at least a type of priesthood like 1 Peter 2:5-9 explains?
I think what you're asking is do Catholics believe in the common priesthood of all believers, to which the answer is yes - though we distinguish it from the priesthood of ordination.
The Catechism says:
783 Jesus Christ is the one whom the Father anointed with the Holy Spirit and established as priest, prophet, and king. The whole People of God participates in these three offices of Christ and bears the responsibilities for mission and service that flow from them.
784 On entering the People of God through faith and Baptism, one receives a share in this people's unique, priestly vocation: "Christ the Lord, high priest taken from among men, has made this new people 'a kingdom of priests to God, his Father.' The baptized, by regeneration and the anointing of the Holy Spirit, are consecrated to be a spiritual house and a holy priesthood."
Excellent video. One very powerful motivation for holiness in the early Church was the persecutions by the Roman Empire which lasted to about the year 313 AD when the Emperor Constantine ended them with the Edict of Milan. After this Edict the Church grew very much, which is good, but unfortunately a lot of people were becoming Christian for less-than-ideal motives; For example: "if the Emperor is a Christian, maybe I should be Christian to get myself a good job!" So the Church grew greatly but also became a little worldly you might say. Then a group of Christians who were a bit bombed out by this decided to go to the desert, at first as individual hermits, and eventually as small communities. This would be the beginning of monasticism. With Saint Anthony of the desert at the lead. I really like this line taken from his biography by St Athanasius, which is like the very first description of the monastic life: "Those who wished to take heed of themselves would practice the discipline in solitude outside their own villages."
facts. truee.................
Can you explain what Denzinger is?
It's a resource book of official Church pronouncements since the Early Church.
Slow it down brother please
You should watch my videos from when I was 16, it could be worse: ua-cam.com/video/fXxU01IgoxU/v-deo.htmlsi=QtNpSk5j9iSzGjna
When is a Nun (Sister) able to be called “Mother” such as mother Teresa? Thanks for the informative video.
I believe it's just that she's the head of an order or house, but I might go more in depth on nuns in a future video. Women in charge of religious houses have historically been permitted crosiers (bishops crooks) too, which is an interesting thing I'm curious to research more about.
A nun is not abled to be called "MOTHER " A senior nun is appointed as in charge of a group of nuns functioning under one roofShe is then called Mother of/for that group
@@CatechesisVids
My understanding is that nuns of the Benedictine order and it's branches and some others having the title of Abbess were allowed the pectorial cross, crozier, ring and gloves. Poor Clare Abbesses had none of these. In the early church from the time of St. Benedict not all abbots were priests. Neither were all choir monks priests.
You forgot to mention canons, if you want to get extra technical.
That might have to be its own video, since I have no idea what distinguishes a canon from other religious.
@@CatechesisVids I don't think they know either.
My understanding is priests or religious attached to the cathedral who live communal prayer life but did not take vows like monastics.
That just sounds like a priest with extra steps
This is very good. You should know, however that friars of the Order of Preachers, aka Dominicans, take only one public vow, that of obedience to God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Dominic, the Master of the Order and his successors, according to the Rule of St. Augustine and the institutions of the Order. It is the latter which imposes the obligations of chastity and poverty.
Holy Father Dominic, pray for us.
Yikes, I should have double checked their website. Thanks for letting me know.
I'm Coptic Orthodox from 🇪🇬☦️
Orthodox Priest can marry but Monk's can't.
I think monks and friars are better than diocesan priests, specially in my area, although we don’t have monks or friars!
By "better", what do you mean exactly?
@@naijagerd7909 they work
Random question but how does the Roman church recognize saints if they died outside of communion with Rome?
Generally it doesn't, hence the controversy surrounding the elevation of figures like Gregory Palamas to sainthood. But ultimately, a saint is just a member of the Church triumphant and the Church is free to count whomever it wills among that number and propose their cult for common generations. Once promulgated, it is infallible that a particular individual is in Heaven. This means that at the moment of the individual's death they must have had charity between themselves and God, been free of mortal sin, and been sufficiently incorporated into the Church to be saved.
It _never_ does. The heretic Palamas was condemned before the end-times robber council.
@jaspermay5813
I presume you are referring to the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council. All Ecumenical Councils are infallible. Vatican II is just as infallible as Trent.
Thanks for making a great video. I’d like to add the vocation of Deacon. Deacons in the Catholic Church are considered Clergy, with an emphasis on service. There are two types. Transitional Deacons, which are usually seminarians who are close to being ordained a priest. It is a step before that ordination and helps them to transition into their true calling as priest. And there are Permanent Deacons that are lay men who go through a period of preparation in a Diocese for a period of 4-6 years in most cases. Permanent Deacons serve at the will of the local Bishop, usually within their local parish. A deacon may also assist a priest during Mass by reading the Gospel and preaching, among other things. A deacon may also administer the Sacrament of Baptism; bring Viaticum to the dying; preside for prayer services; officiate at wakes, funerals, and burial services; and witness marriages. Deacons are also able to bless religious articles.
Thanks for watching! In my experience, religious orders really only ordain deacons transitionally to priesthood - not permanent deacons. So it was beyond the scope of this video to cover deacons individually. But I could be mistaken on that. Thanks for writing up the summary of deacons.
1 Peter 4:9 ALL CHRISTAINS ARE PRIESTS. Catholics (regardless of their "Label" are only "priests" if they've been born again. What their "Title" happens to be in the Roman Catholic religious system doesn't mean SPIT.
In the early church, the distinction was made between the graces given to all believers via baptism and those given only to the "ecclesia" through the laying on of hands which we see in the Acts of the Apostoles.
Thus, though everyone who is baptized exercises the role of priest, prophet, and king common to our new life in Christ - there is also the ministerial priesthood of those who have had hands laid upon them to receive holy orders. Martin Luther conflated these two roles into one role, and has sowed needless confusion about the issue.
@@CatechesisVids Wrong again. "BAptism has nothing to do with anything. A Person is SAVED< and becames a Christian When they REPENT and call out IN FAITH to God for salvation. All the rest is nothing but Roman Catholic heretical garbage.
On the contrary, it is not Faith and internal conviction itself that saves us - but Christ himself through the means of baptism. I'm releasing a video on this very subject in a few weeks.
Humble yourself and learn, Bobby
