You are correct!!


Answer: In 1216 Pope Honorius III issued two documents which established the Order of Preachers, better known as the Dominican Order. Religiosam vitam was promulgated on December 22, 1216, followed shortly thereafter by Gratiarum omnium largitori. For over 800 years the mission of the Order of Preachers has been to preach the Gospel.
