Order of St. Benedict

[Cloisters]

As an Abbot Primate emeritus put it, they’re more like the _dis_order of St. Benedict. They are a confederation of congregations, plus independent monasteries. Here is the explanation of the order from another Abbot Primate emeritus, who is not the same one I’m referencing at the beginning.

Benedictines include Cistercians, Trappists, and Camaldolese.
