Ask Br. Casey: Franciscans, Dominicans, and Jesuits

There are more than a few types of religious Orders in the Catholic Church, and it can be difficult to know the differences. This video explains what a charism is and how the Franciscan charism is different from other Orders.

Here's a shorter answer: Jesuit = good cop; Dominican = bad cop; Franciscan = social worker.

I laughed hysterically when you said "unbiased". God bless.

The Dominican Order sounds interesting. I’ve always been one for Dogma and, well, being strict in the True Faith. Plus, I really love their Habits.

Thank you, Brother! It's impressive you've told there are more what's COMMON than differences between these orders. The great Catholic Church has been sustained by the great pillars through the great saints-and of course ultimately under the guidance of the God-including St.Dominic de Guzman, St.Ignatius of Loyola, and St.Francis of Assisi!

[@erikwenglikowski644]

Thank you so much for making that

You mentioned a while back that you had to take three vows to become a friar. Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience. How are these vows practiced? Are they difficult to practice? Are there any other vows, or things you had to do or give up in order to become a friar?
