of religious matters
...praevio examine a RR DD. Examinatoribus deputatis idoneum repertum et admissum = 'by a previous examination of religious matters by a Doctor of Divinity, the examiners having deemed [him] suitable and admitted [him]
Pretty certainly, D.D. is an abbreviation for 'Doctores' or "Doctor Divinitatis', since the subject deals with the admission ('admissum')of a candidate to a religious order. RR ('rerum religiosum') would then refer to the religious lore requisite to to join.

For RR It should be 'rerum religiosorum'. My typing left out the penultimate syllable.

Reverend (plural)
In ecclesiastical Latin, one indicates the plural of an uppercase character by doubling it. So “praevio examine a RR DD. Examinatoribus” equates to “praevio examine a Reverendis Doctoribus Examinatoribus”, i.e., “after having been tested/examined by the Reverend Doctor Examiners” (or “Reverend Examining Doctors”).

Oops! "D", of course, stands for "Dominus", not "Doctor". So, literally it should be “after having been tested/examined by the Reverend Lord Examiners”, though that sounds a bit stuffy in English.
