a monastic order in the Roman Catholic Church, founded in 1534 by countess Torelli, of Guastalla. They were at first connected with the Barnabites, whom they assisted in their missions; but, as this led to disorders, they were ordered to take the vow of seclusion. They were also called the Angelic order (Angelics), which name was to remind them that they should be as pure in their lives as angels.
