The Franciscans have a fascinating history. This branch which was embezzled is the OFM branch. Early on there was a tension between those Franciscans who wanted to work in groups (convents) in the cities and they became the Conventual Franciscans, OFM Conv.

There was another great reform in the sixteen the century among Franciscans who wanted to live the Rule of Francis more rigorously, as they believed it was originally. They became the Capuchin Franciscans, OFM Cap., so named after the longer hood on the habit they adopted, the cappuccio.

It is a shame but it is one episode among hundreds in this vibrant Order.
