We [the brothers] are bound to fast and avoid vice and sin, taking care not to give way to excess in food and drink, and we must be Catholics. We should visit churches often and show great reverence for the clergy, not just for them personally, for they may be sinnersw, but because of their high office, for it is they who administer the most holy Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Saint Francis of Assisi
