In the Catholic church, the Passionists are NOT an "order" but a congregation.
According to about.com, a passionist is:
Pas·sion·ist (păsh'ə-nĭst) pronunciation
n.
A member of a Roman Catholic religious order founded in Italy in 1720 by Saint Paul of the Cross (1694–1775) and dedicated to promoting devotion to the Passion of Christ chiefly by missionary work.
At the same site, Wikipedia's definition and partial history says:
Passionists are a Roman Catholic religious group that was founded by St Paul of the Cross (Paul Francis Danei). Its expanded name is The Congregation of Discalced Clerks of the Most Holy Cross and Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
History
St. Paul of the Cross wrote the rules of the Congregation in December 1720, and in 1725, Pope Benedict XIII granted St. Paul the permission to form his congregation. Paul and his brother, John Baptist, were ordained by the pope on the same occasion.
Clement XIV then granted full rights to the Passionists, as enjoyed by the other religious orders, in 1769 except that he did not make them a full order but a congregation."

The Jesuits (passionists) do not have a Third Order to my knowledge,
but the Fransicans and the Dominicans do.

Is that the order after the second one? And before the fourth one??
