Section II. On the Duties of Religious

¶1.

The Code first declares: All religious are also held by the common obligations of clerics, concerning which in canons 124-142, unless something else is clear from the context of the discussion or from the nature of the thing (can. 592). We spoke about these obligations in n. 1157 sq. But here we must speak about the special obligations or duties of religious; and indeed first about the substantial duties, so to speak, and those connatural to the religious state, then about certain other duties.
