Are there third orders that embrace traditional Catholic teachings?

The SSPX have the Third Order of St. Francis, and the Institute of Christ the King has the Society of the Sacred Heart, however I'm not sure the latter is technically a Third Order. Both to my recollection frown on carrying guns --something they should probably be more forthcoming about.
Other than that, I know little about them.

The SSPX also has (and seems to push more) what they call the Third Order of the SSPX, which is different:

QuoteWhat is the Third Order of the Society of St. Pius X?

In 1980, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre established a Third Order within the Priestly Society of St. Pius X. This establishment was to associate the laity with the spirit and mission of the Society. The spirit as described by the founder "is essentially a priestly spirit, enlightened by the radiance of our Redeemer's Sacrifice on Calvary and in the Mass, 'the Mystery of Faith'". (Cor Unum, January 14, 1982) The laity seeking membership in the Society are to foster this spirit and collaborate in the apostolate to form and preserve priestly vocations. This is done under the direction of the chaplain of the Third Order and one's individual confessor

It seems the Third Order of the SSPX isn't a typical Third Order that you would see in the past, since SSPX is not strictly a religious order, but it is a religious congregation with both priests and nuns.
[Matthew 8:26]  And Jesus saith to them: Why are you fearful, O ye of little faith? Then rising up he commanded the winds, and the sea, and there came a great calm.

[Job  38:1-5]  Then the Lord answered Job out of a whirlwind, and said: [2] Who is this that wrappeth up sentences in unskillful words? [3] Gird up thy loins like a man: I will ask thee, and answer thou me. [4] Where wast thou when I laid up the foundations of the earth? tell me if thou hast understanding. [5] Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

Jesus, Mary, I love Thee! Save souls!
