A widespread religious revival inspired several societies for men which were kindred to the Beguines. His account helped gain papal approval for the Beguines. His involvement included helping improve the Great Beguines at Mechelen. In 1325, she was arrested with several other beguines. This foundation was used by the beguines. The beguines were keen on their privacy. The church, controlled by the Beguines, was taken by the city council and closed. Meeusen also mentions the Beguines to refer to her business' philosophy. The Neumarkt quarter arose at the same time and was settled increasingly by Beguines. There is likewise no evidence that Beguines ever formed part of the Cathar heretical groups. Modern Beguines include Marcella Pattyn, and perhaps Dorothy Day. Recently, the Beguines of Mercy were founded in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. After the Council of Vienne in 1312, the Beguines declined. Beguines were never recognized as an official, papally approved religious order. Beguines took personal, informal vows of chastity.
