 +  * Canon 298 §1 __In the Church there are associations__ that are distinct from institutes of consecrated life and societies of apostolic life. In these associations, __Christ's faithful__, whether clerics or laity, or clerics and laity together, __strive with a common effort to foster fullness of life, or to promote public worship or Christian teaching__. They may also devote themselves to other __works of the apostolate, such as initiatives for evangelization, works of piety or charity, and those which animate the temporal order with the Christian spirit__. 
 +  * Canon 299 §1 By __private agreement__ among themselves, Christ's faithful have the right to constitute associations for the purposes mentioned in can. 298 §1, without prejudice to the provisions of can. 301 §1. 
 +    * E.g. St. Vincent de Paul [[https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_councils/laity/documents/rc_pc_laity_doc_20051114_associazioni_en.html| examples]] 
 +  * Canon 301 §1 It is for the __competent ecclesiastical authority__ alone to establish associations of Christ's faithful which intend to impart __Christian teaching__ in the name of the Church or to promote __public worship__, or which are directed to other ends whose pursuit is of its nature reserved to the same ecclesiastical authority. 
 +    * E.g. sponsoring Catholic Schools     
 +  * Canon 303 Associations whose members live on their own but share in the spirit of some religious institute, under the overall direction of the same institute, and who lead an apostolic life and strive for Christian perfection, are known as third orders, or are called by some other suitable title.
