Under John of Parma, who enjoyed the favor of Innocent IV and <a href="/wiki/Pope_Alexander_IV" title="Pope Alexander IV">Pope Alexander IV</a>, the influence of the Order was notably increased, especially by the provisions of the latter pope in regard to the academic activity of the brothers.

Attempts were made, however, to satisfy the reasonable demands of the Spiritual party, as in the bull <i>Exiit qui seminat</i><sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> of <a href="/wiki/Pope_Nicholas_III" title="Pope Nicholas III">Pope Nicholas III</a> (1279), which pronounced the principle of complete poverty to be meritorious and holy, but interpreted it in the way of a somewhat sophistical distinction between possession and usufruct. The bull was received respectfully by Bonagratia and the next two generals, <a href="/wiki/Arlotto_of_Prato" title="Arlotto of Prato">Arlotto of Prato</a> (1285–87) and <a href="/wiki/Matthew_of_Aqua_Sparta" class="mw-redirect" title="Matthew of Aqua Sparta">Matthew of Aqua Sparta</a> (1287–89); but the Spiritual party under the leadership of the Bonaventuran pupil and apocalyptic <a href="/wiki/Peter_Olivi" class="mw-redirect" title="Peter Olivi">Pierre Jean Olivi</a> regarded its provisions for the dependence of the friars upon the pope and the division between brothers occupied in manual labor and those employed on spiritual missions as a corruption of the fundamental principles of the Order.

The attempt made by the next pope, <a href="/wiki/Pope_Celestine_V" title="Pope Celestine V">Celestine V</a>, an old friend of the order, to end the strife by uniting the Observantist party with his own order of hermits (see <a href="/wiki/Celestines" title="Celestines">Celestines</a>) was scarcely more successful.

The Benedictine section of the Celestines was separated from the Franciscan section, and the latter was formally suppressed by Pope Boniface VIII in 1302. The leader of the Observantists, Olivi, who spent his last years in the Franciscan house at Tarnius and died there in 1298, had pronounced against the extremer "Spiritual" attitude, and given an exposition of the theory of poverty which was approved by the more moderate Observantists, and for a long time constituted their principle. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Persecution">Persecution</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Franciscans&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Persecution"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Under <a href="/wiki/Pope_Clement_V" title="Pope Clement V">Pope Clement V</a> (1305–14) this party succeeded in exercising some influence on papal decisions.

The Rule of Saint Francis calls for members to practice simple living and detachment from material possessions in emulation of Jesus' life and earthly ministry. The simple lifestyle helps members of the order, in whichever branch, to experience solidarity with the poor and to work for social justice.
