4 This community of ‘Oblates of La Trappe’ (called by Abbot Burder his Third Order) did not form an official part of the Cistercian Order. Though inspired by previous attempts to found a Third Order and although encouragement was given by the Trappist General Chapter, the Community was very much Burder's own creation. Nor should these ‘oblates’ be taken to mean the same thing as present day Cistercian oblates.
