Like the monks of old, Friars take vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. Unlike the monks, friars mingle in the world. Chesterton says of St. Francis, "His idea was this: that the dedicated man might go anywhere among any kind of men, even the worst kind of men, so long as there was nothing by which they could hold him." p. 100 St. Francis of Assisi. V's wife.
