The The Third Order of Saint Francis , historically known as the The Order of Redemption of Saint Francis , is the third in the Franciscan movement of the Catholic Church. These include both sworn congregations and women and the fraternity of men and women living standard in the world, marrying most of the time.
It is believed that the Third Order of Saint Francis was the oldest of all three orders, but historical evidence does not support this. Similar institutions are found in the documentation of several monastic orders in the 12th century. In addition, a third order has been found among Humiliati, confirmed along with his rule by Pope Innocent III in 1201.
In 1978, the Third Order of Saint Francis was reorganized and given a new Rule of Life by Pope Paul VI. With the new rule, the name used by the secular branch of the order was changed to the Secular Franciscan Order.

Tertiary, (from Latin There is a difference of opinion about the origin of the Third Order of Saint Francis. According to the church historian Karl MÃÆ'¼ller (the historian of the Church), Mandonnet, and others, the Third Order of the Secular is the survival of the original ideals of Francis of Assisi, ie , a common confraternity against the converts from which the First and Second Commandments of the Minor Claus and the Poor Clare have been released. Other clerical groups believe that the name of Saint Francis became associated with a pre-existing lay fraternity, without having a special relationship with or influence on them. Thomas of Celano and others argued that Francis had indeed found the Third Order and gave it a Rule. The Sermon of Saint Francis, as well as his example, shows a strong appeal to people who many married men and women want to join the First or Second Order, but this does not fit with their circumstances, Francis finds a middle man. ways and gave them animated rules by the Franciscan spirit. Under this arrangement Saint Francis was assisted by his friend Cardinal Ugolino, (later Pope Gregory IX). Regarding the place where the Third Order was first introduced, nothing is known. The dominant opinion was for Florence, especially on the authority of Mariano of Florence, or Faenza, who quoted the first known papal bull on the subject (Regesta pontificum). The less authoritative Fioretti commissioned Cannara, a small town that runs two hours from Portiuncula, as the birthplace of the Third Order. Mariano and Bull for Faenza (December 16, 1221) stated that 1221 was the earliest date for establishing the Third Order. Thomas of Celano writes that the oldest preserved rule is dated 1221. This rule originally consisted of twelve chapters; a third is added under Pope Gregory IX (1227). Among other things, it regulates simplicity in dress, fasting and abstinence, and canonical office or other prayer instead. Because of the prohibition of carrying weapons, the followers of this rule were in conflict with the local authorities, who customarily required men to carry weapons for service in the militia. In the thirteenth century, there was a Third Order Conflict with local variations. In 1289, Pope Nicholas IV confirmed the rules in bull Supra montem . The rules published and approved by Pope Nicholas IV are substantially the same as the oldest 1221 texts. Nicholas IV introduced the unity of government and direction into the Third Order, which was supervised by the Minor monks. In the fifteenth century, many people living under the Third Order Government lived in small communities, many of whom led eremetical life (see Celano). They have lived under the same rules as married penitents who lead more routine life forms. The papal decree of 1447 organized a more isolated community into a new religious order and apart from its own Rule of Life. From that point on, members are defined as either Third Regular Order ( TOR ; ie stay under Rule or "Rule"), or as Secular Third Order, for members of the Order who live in the world. In the subsequent centuries of the Franciscan movement, the Order of the Order of the Order was regarded as equivalent to the first order monks. Maps Third Order of Saint Francis

History
The influence of the Third Order of Secular Franciscans over medieval European society is significant. The prohibition of carrying a weapon brings a blow to the feudal system and the factions that always fought in the Italian cities. Entrance to the Order members of all stations in life on the same basis helps promote social change and equality of opportunity in periods of rigid social stratification.
Clement VII in 1526 and Pope Paul III in 1547 reduced the rules of fasting and abstinence, but the Rule given by Nicholas IV (about 1290) was essentially unchanged. In 1883, Pope Leo XIII, himself a tertiary, through the Apostolic Constitution Misericors Dei Filius , modified the text, adapted more to the modern state and the needs of society, although substantial points remained. Members of the Order gathered in an ecclesial community called fraternity. The direction is entrusted to the three branches of the First Order: Minor, Conventual, Capuchin, and Third Order Regulars.
Leading members include Louis IX of France, Ferdinand III of Castile, Elizabeth of Portugal, Rose of Viterbo, and Margaret of Cortona among others.
Secular Franciscans in Canada
The Third Order Saint Francis was founded by the Young Minor Retreat in Quebec in 1671, and several years later in Three Rivers and Montreal. After Canada's endorsement to England in 1763 following France's defeat in the Seven Years War, the Third Order, seized from its directors, seems to have disappeared gradually.
It was re-established around 1840 by Mgr. Ignatius Bourget, Bishop of Montreal. Naturalist Notary L'AbbÃÆ' © LÃÆ' © Abel Provancher is very active. In 1866, he founded a brotherhood in his parish in Portneuf of Quebec, and promoted the Third Order by his writings. For two years he edited the review, where he published nearly every month an article on the Third Order, or answered the questions related to him. In 1881 the Blessed Friar FrÃÆ' © dà © ric Janssoone was sent to Canada, where he gave a new spirit to the Third Order, inaugurating and visiting the brotherhood.
Not long after that Leo XIII published its Encyclical in the Third Order, the Canadian bishops, hoping, recommending the Third Order to their religious and faithful leaders. The Friars Minor community foundation in Montreal in 1890 inaugurated a new era of growth for the Third Order. By 2016 there are more than 5,000 active members in about 200 fraternities.

Another fraternity operated in New Mexico almost since the Reconstruction (1692-1695), as reported by the Father Guardian (custos), JosÃÆ'Â © Bernal, the date of Santa Fe, 17 September 1794. It is very likely that a confrere was established at St. Augustine, Florida, before the close of the 16th century, as this is the first Spanish settlement in the present place of the United States. One was founded in San Antonio, Texas, before the mid-18th century. The establishment of the Friars Minor order provinces brought the foundation of much confraternity. In 1919 a number of friar provinces decided to establish a national organization.
With the approval of the new Regulation in 1978, the brotherhood was reorganized as an independent hand of the Franciscan Movement. The United States National Brotherhood was formed and divided into thirty territories. By 2016, there are more than 12,000 Secular Franciscans in the United States.
