The idea which forms the basis of this institute is typically that persons who, on account of certain circumstances cannot enter a religious order, may, nevertheless, as far as possible enjoy the advantages and privileges of religious orders. This is most clearly expressed in the Rule of the Third Order of St. Francis which, although not the oldest, has, nevertheless, become the model for the rule of almost all other Third Orders.

The <i><a href="/wiki/Durham_Liber_Vitae" title="Durham Liber Vitae">Confraternity Book of Durham</a></i> is extant and embraces some 20,000 names in the course of eight centuries. Emperors and kings and the most illustrious men in church and state were commonly confraters of one or other of the great <a href="/wiki/Benedictine" class="mw-redirect" title="Benedictine">Benedictine</a> abbeys. The confraters and consorors were made partakers in all the religious exercises and other good works of the community to which they were affiliated, and they were expected in return to protect and forward its interests; but they were not called upon to follow any special rule of life.<sup id="cite_ref-Baber_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Baber-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The general idea of lay people affiliated to religious orders, such as the <a href="/wiki/Benedictine" class="mw-redirect" title="Benedictine">Benedictine</a> <a href="/wiki/Oblates" class="mw-redirect" title="Oblates">Oblates</a> or confraters developed as founders and benefactors of monasteries were received into spiritual fellowship, and later clothed in death in some religious habit. So too the <a href="/wiki/Knights_Templar" title="Knights Templar">Templars</a> had a whole system whereby layfolk could partake in some sort in their privileges and in the material administration of their affairs. But the essential nature of the tertiary is really an innovation of the thirteenth century.<sup id="cite_ref-Jarrett_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Jarrett-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>At that date many of the laity, impatient of the indolent and sometimes scandalous lives of the clergy in lower Europe, were seized with the idea of reforming Christendom by preaching. This admirable intention caused the rise of among others, the <a href="/wiki/Humiliati" title="Humiliati">Fratres Humiliati</a>. The Humiliati soon became suspect and were forbidden by <a href="/wiki/Pope_Lucius_III" title="Pope Lucius III">Pope Lucius III</a> to preach, until in 1207 <a href="/wiki/Pope_Innocent_III" title="Pope Innocent III">Pope Innocent III</a> gave a section of them permission to resume their work, provided that they limited themselves to moral questions and did not venture on doctrinal subjects. Some became priests, were gathered into a cloister, and took up religious life. Others remained outside, yet spiritually dependent on the clerical portion, and for the first time called a Third Order.<sup id="cite_ref-Jarrett_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Jarrett-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Humiliati seem to have been the first to have 'tertiaries' in the twelfth century. These lived a rule of life within the world. </p><p>The name was used to a great extent in the Franciscan Order,<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> which possibly had the most popular third order. Other orders too had tertiaries such as the <a href="/wiki/Trinitarians" title="Trinitarians">Trinitarians</a> and the Dominicans. These were followed over time by a number of others such as the Carmelites, <a href="/wiki/Servites" class="mw-redirect" title="Servites">Servites</a>, Augustinians, <a href="/wiki/Augustinian_Recollects" class="mw-redirect" title="Augustinian Recollects">Augustinian Recollects</a>, <a href="/wiki/Discalced_Carmelites" title="Discalced Carmelites">Discalced Carmelites</a> and others. But by whatever name they were called in the inception, there have been lay persons who have professed to live according to either the Rule of the brothers adapted to their secular life or a rule drawn up particularly for them. They shared the same spirituality, the same superiors, and even aspects of the same habit such as the scapular. Eventually, the name "tertiary" became popularized and attached to all who lived in this way. There have been a number of beatified or canonized tertiaries. </p><p>With the advent of the Second Vatican Council came an elaboration of the lay vocation. The lay vocation is a vocation distinct from that of the consecrated state. It involves the sanctification of ordinary life, of one's work, of family life, of all the various secular occupations. It is the leaven in the midst of the world to order the temporal world to God. </p><p>As the various third orders secular began to look at each of their houses after the Council they began to revise their Rules and Statutes. The Orders submitted their new Statutes or Rules or Constitutions to the Holy See for review and approbation. Thus the new Statutes etc. are steeped in the doctrine of the Council regarding the universal call to holiness and the theology of the lay vocation including the secular character of the laity. Various Orders have opted to change the name from "Third Order Secular" to "Secular Order" (or at least add it to usage) to emphasize the secular nature of the Order or they used the term "Lay or Laity" to the same effect. "Third order" and "tertiary" is still used but other names were added or used in a formal sense. The various documents show how the laity of the various Orders are part of the Order (or family etc.) but fully within their particular lay and secular state.
