What is Order of Christ Membership in 17th Century about?

This document discusses the membership rights, privileges, and obligations of the Order of Christ in 17th century Portugal. It was a religious order with both contemplative members living in monasteries, and active knights and commanders who took military-style vows but often lived like noblemen. While members pledged poverty, chastity and obedience, these vows had less significance over time. Many viewed membership as providing rights and sinecures rather than as living up to the order
