Resistance To The Rule

Perugia, Italy

Later on, when Francis explained the Rule and regulations to the brothers, they found them difficult and unbearable; for, they did not know what was going to take place in the Order after Francis' death. He did not wish to have a conflict with the brothers, so greatly did he fear scandal for himself and for the others; and hence he complied with their request, against his own will. he later apologized for it before the Lord.
