Roman Catholic priests living in community under a religious rule
The Canons Regular of St. Augustine are priests who live in community under a rule (Latin: regula and κανών, kanon, in Greek) and are generally organised into religious orders, differing from both secular canons and other forms of religious life, such as clerics regular, designated by a partly similar terminology. As religious communities, they have laybrothers as part of the community.
At times, their Orders have been very popular: in England in the 12th century, there were more houses of canons than monasteries of any order of monks or friars.[1]
