Monks
[edit]The name of the category is false because the Franciscans are not monks. They are religious, but not monks, because they do not vow a stabilitas loci and their rule is not a monastic rule. The superior of the house of the Franciscans is not a prior but a guardian. It is a completely different form of religious life from monasticism. Abraham (talk) 05:34, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
