Apostolic poverty is a Christian doctrine that states that members of the clergy should live without ownership of lands or accumulation of money, following the precepts given to the seventy disciples in the Gospel of Luke (10:1-24). It was notably professed in the thirteenth century by the newly formed mendicant orders in response to calls for reform in the Roman Catholic Church.
