	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Order of the Knights of Christ
		During the period of Spanish domination (1580-1640), another attempt to revive the monastic character of the whole order resulted in the statutes enacted by a general chapter, at Thomar in 1619, and promulgated by Philip IV of Spain, in 1627.
		The last attempt at a reform of the order was that of the Queen Donna Maria, made with the approbation of Pius VI (1789).
		The Order of Christ, as a papal decoration, or order of merit, is also a historical survival of the right, anciently reserved to the Holy See, of admitting new members into the Portuguese order.
