Do popes belong to a religious order

[Tighty_Whitey]

I was wondering if popes or bishops belong to a religious order and if so, what religious order has had the most popes? If not, then just when does a priest no longer belong to a religious order? Would they still have to keep their vows to that order? Just curious.

Peace, g.

There’s nothing to stop them.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_popes#Religious_orders shows the orders that have had Popes…

I’m hoping for someone with a Franciscan charism

Wow! That link certainly answers the question.

I’m wondering how if at all it may have impacted their papalcy and whether they still maintained their vows to that order.

That’s my question too. New Pope Francis I is a Jesuit, as such he is under the authority of the Superior General of the Jesuits. How does that relationship change now that he is Pope?
