please google more...conventual friars not "sprouted" from franciscans. The Franciscan order split in to two in 1517, namly Obrservants and Conevtual. All Observants Orders were united in to one in XXc. Conventual ramained independent with seperete Minister General. They use Grey or Black Habit. In some places they are called Greyfriars (Africa, Uk)
ReplyDeleteEven though I see no fault in using the word sprout, I'll replace it with a different term. You are correct they were formally split in the 16th century not 19th, fixed.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, My descriptions are not a comprehensive history of the religious institutes, but I did ad a couple more details.
Pax
It is the Observantes who split and separated themselves from the others, non the Conventuals. This is history!
ReplyDeleteBoy you folks are sensitive about this... amended
ReplyDeleteThose who were once called the "Observants", because they were faithful and observant to the charism and rule of their founder are now called just "Friars Minor" or "Franciscans" and their Minister General is referred to and entitled by the Catholic Church as the successor of St. Francis.
