			'''Discipline of egoism.''' The moral order subordinates personal and industrial interests to service of Humanity, producing the positivist maxim “Live for others.”<ref>Comte, ''Catechism'', Preface, p. 1–2.</ref>

			'''Source for social science.''' Comte says the positive priesthood must “maintain and develop the general harmony” of social functions by laying down rules for the moral and social order, which makes morals the first material of sociology.<ref>Comte, ''Catechism'', p. 273.</ref>

			'''Institutional carriers.''' The Religion of Humanity (worship → doctrine → regime), the domestic sphere (family, women), and the positive priesthood are the organs that reproduce the moral order.<ref>Comte, ''Catechism'', p. 237–239.</ref>

			''SpiritWiki note:'' Moral Order is the '''affective–ethical subsystem''' of Comte’s framework, the part that produces adhesion, duty, and altruism without which the other orders cannot be stabilized.
