Article needs restoring and expert attention[edit]

The re-direct to "simple living" is mistaken; and I have therefore removed it. The Christian vow of poverty – vow of poverty – is one of the three Evangelical Counsels and taken in imitation of the kenosis of Christ, a point that merits expounding.
Alternatively, re-direct to Evangelical Counsels (which I have now done, if only as a temporary measure) and there make sub-headings for each of the three vows individually (viz. chastity, poverty, obedience).
