  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Order of Preachers
As the Order of the Friars Preachers is the principal part of the entire Order of St. Dominic, we shall include under this title the two other parts of the order: the Dominican Sisters (Second Order) and the Brothers of Penitence of St. Dominic (Third Order).
The order assimilated the ancient forms of the religious life, the monastic and the canonical, but it made them subservient to the clerical and the apostolic life which are its peculiar and essential aims.
The same solicitude to remove the order from the odium of the inquisitorial office impelled the provincial chapter of Cahors (1244) to forbid that anything should accrue to the friars from the administration of the Inquisition, that the order might not be slandered.

 Catholic Culture : Document Library : Society Of Catholic Social Scientists: Catholic Social Science And The ...
The activities and very existence of Christendom College both irritates and threatens a smug, progressive Catholic establishment which considers that a truly "Catholic university" is a contradiction in terms and which quite publicly mimics the secular chant that the Catholic faith stands as a scholarly impediment to the attainment of truth.
However, the loss of the idea of "Catholic social science" or, at least, "Catholic perspectives in the social sciences" was only one of the many casualties suffered by an orthodox Catholicism in the turbulent wake of the immediate post-Vatican II period.
Theoretically, the idea of Catholic social science or, at least, of Catholic perspectives in the social sciences, is plausible given the fact that all social science disciplines are rooted in, or at least abstracted from, some nonempirical philosophy or worldview.

 Seattle Catholic - Lamennais, Rousseau, and the New Catholic Order
The Church, restored to legal institutional life after the Revolution, was not acting as the vital social force that she must be in order to have the desired effect.
Lamennais called upon this Silent Catholic Majority to take up the task of teaching the Faith through the example of its vital living of its message, even in opposition to the pronouncements of its erstwhile international leader, dethroned by his public display of "indifference".
They, too, were resistant to the command to get in touch with their true nature, indifferent to performance of the tasks vital to their role, and even susceptible to the continued influence of the hypocritical, artificial ecclesiastical and political authorities around them.
