Revival of Ecclesiastical Discipline
The Spanish religious orders stand on the threshold of the Observancia, the movement for stricter monastic discipline, already taking root among the Franciscan and Dominican houses of Castile. We will extend Crown backing to the observant branches of every regular order, suppressing the conventual houses that have abandoned enclosure and redirecting their endowments toward the reformed Hieronymites, Augustinians, Carthusians, and Cistercians under joint Crown and inquisitorial visitation. A thoroughgoing reform of the regular clergy gives the Spanish Church a disciplined moral order a generation before the rest of Catholic Europe even faces the question.
