Spiritual Franciscans

The term Spiritual Franciscans refers to two distinct yet interrelated phenomena within the first two centuries of the Order of Friars Minor: a broad and diverse current advocating for a rigorous interpretation of the Rule, present even during the lifetime of Francis of Assisi; and a specific, organized movement that emerged in the mid-1270s and persisted for approximately fifty years.
