What is the Augustinian Order to which Pope Leo XIV belongs?

The new Pope Robert Prevost, who chose the name Leo XIV, comes from the Augustinian order. He himself mentioned this in his first speech delivered from the balcony of St. Peter's in his greeting to the faithful.

The order, disciples of Saint Augustine, was officially founded in the 13th century and after a long period was in danger of extinction in the 19th century.

It was the then Pope Leo XIII who saved him and perhaps the new Pope's choice of name is also linked to this historical passage.

The exact date of the founding of the Augustinian order dates back to December 16, 1243, when Pope Innocent IV invited several communities of hermits of Lazio to unite into a single congregation.

The Augustinians saw their greatest expansion in the 16th century, coinciding with the flowering of Humanism, when they opened numerous missions in America, Asia, and Africa.

The first community was founded in Lima, Peru, in 1551, a land where the Pope Provost had long exercised his mission. The decline coincided with the 18th century, when the Habsburg Emperor Joseph II suppressed many Augustinian monasteries and confiscated their assets.

The Renaissance, starting in the second half of the following century, supported them, as stated by Pope Leo XIII.

Devotion to Saint Mary, dedication to studies, and their dissemination are among the characteristics of the Augustinians.

The study of philosophy and theology are their cultural "heritage", along with missionary and educational activity.

Among the most famous figures belonging to the order is Martin Luther, who was an Augustinian friar before the split with the Church of Rome.

Gregor Mendel, a Bohemian-born abbot considered the father of modern genetics, also belonged to the order.
