Theatin
\The"a*tin\, Theatine
\The"a*tine\, n. [F. th['e]atin,
It. theatino.] (R. C. Ch.)
1. One of an order of Italian monks, established in 1524,
expressly to oppose Reformation, and to raise the tone of
piety among Roman Catholics. They hold no property, nor do
they beg, but depend on what Providence sends. Their chief
employment is preaching and giving religious instruction.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Their name is derived from Theate, or Chieti, a city of
Naples, the archbishop of which was a principal founder
of the order; but they bore various names; as, Regular
Clerks of the Community, Pauline Monks, Apostolic
Clerks, and Regular Clerks of the Divine Providence.
The order never flourished much out of Italy.
[1913 Webster]
