Theatines, religious order. The ‘Clerks Regular of the Divine Providence’ were founded in Rome in 1524 by St
Cajetan and Gian Pietro Carafa (Bp. of Chieti, or ‘Theate’; later
Paul IV). The Order aimed at the reform of the Church from within; it played an important part in the
Counter-Reformation, having spread to Spain and Central Europe.
