Best Answer

A confraternity is normally a Roman Catholic or Orthodox organization of lay people created for the purpose of promoting special works of Christian charity or piety, and approved by the Church hierarchy." I am Roman Catholic and this is what it is for us. Lay people would be people who are members of the church but not clergy.
