Fraternities are not societies of consecrated life. They don’t take Vows, especially not of poverty. They are societies of apostolic life, that is to say secular priests living in a non-diocesan community. They are not consecrated religious.
And not even all societies of consecrated life are religious “Orders” in the technical sense either. The newest ones (in the past few centuries) have all been simply religious “communities” under simple vows and constitutions, but not technically Orders under an official Rule with solemn vows. There have been new houses and even branches of old Orders, but no new Orders strictly so called for two or three hundred years, only “communities”.
