[edit] Merge?
I noticed someone slapped a merge tag with Franciscan at the top of the page. I oppose such a move, as the two orders are different, and should have different articles. Gentgeen 09:31, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

As it has been said, these are two, very distinct orders recognized by the Catholic Church.
Well, no -- they are not "very distinct." They are, with the Capuchins, the three branches of the First Order of St. Francis. However, as they did branch off early on and have had their own history, they should have their own entry, cross referenced to a general article on the Franciscan family.HarvardOxon 01:09, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
I agree, they are individual, and should remain so.
