Best Answer
Roman Catholic AnswerMonks, in the Benedictine and related traditions take three vows: Obedience conversio morum (roughly "conversion of manners" a synonym for "common life" or "monasticity") and stability. Other religious, NOT monks, take the three evangelical councils of poverty, chastity, and obedience as their three vows. Monks' vows contain the chastity and poverty in the conversio morum. These are the same three vows that monks have taken since the seventh century and still take today.
