The Franciscans form today - in addition to the Capuchins and the Minorites - one of the three branches of the first order of St. Francis.. <9> The Order has around 16,000 members worldwide.. He is the third largest male order of the Catholic Church after the Benedictines and the Jesuits.. In Germany, the religious community is the second strongest religious community after the Benedictines, followed by the Jesuits.. <9> Francis of Assisi (1181/1182 to 1226) founded the ´Order of the Lesser Brothers´.. Around 1210 he was recognized by the Pope.. Over the centuries, this order branched out in many ways.. Around 1370, the Chronica XXIV Generalium was born.. <9> Around the middle of the 14th century, today´s Franciscans emerged from the observance movement.. Characteristic of this movement was the return to a stricter observance of the original Order rule.. These included strict adherence to the poverty ideal.. They also resumed the original Franciscan walking sermon in which they denounced the social ills of the time.. <9> In May 1517 Pope Leo X. with the bull Ite et vos in vineam meam (Eng., Do ye also go into my vineyard ´, Matt. 20: 4) completed and confirmed the separation.. With this bull the Franciscan Order was divided into two independent branches: the Conventuals (now Minorites, OFMConv) and the Observants (Franciscans, OFM).. <9> It was not until 1897 that the different branches of the Franciscans were reunited on pressure Pope Leo XIII.. <9> Like all mendicant orders, the Franciscans live in poverty and earn their living by working in a craftsmanlike, social, pastoral and pedagogical way. <9> Here you can find more information about the <1001> Franciscans}
