Catholicism For Dummies. Rev. Kenneth Brighenti
The style, size, and color of the women’s veils also designate their community. Religious brothers and sisters aren’t members of the clergy, but they aren’t members of the lay faithful, either. They’re called consecrated religious, which means that they’ve taken sacred vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. They share all meals together and try to work together, pray together, and recreate together. Because they take a vow of poverty, they don’t own their own cars (no insurance, loan payments, or gasoline to buy, either), and they have no personal savings or checking accounts. The religious order provides all these things, and they must ask their superiors when they need or want something. This is where that vow of obedience kicks in.
