Christian Pawlowski thank you. I learned something new :) “The difference, however, is really fundamental. It lies in the nature of the vows taken by their members; in an Order they are solemn, in a Congregation they are simple. ... The bodies in which solemn vows are taken are alone properly called Religious Orders.”
Gregory Vess his name is Father Benedict Hughes and his parish is in Idaho. Like the other people who commented before me he’s with CMRI. CMRI stands for Congregatio Mariae Reginae Immaculatae (in English - Mary Immaculate Queen).
Why is he wearing that habit (if that's even a habit)? Isn't he a diocesan priest?
Gregory Vess CMRI is a religious order.
@@Sparrow0514 A religious congregation, to be precise.
