The Observants, the Capuchins, and the Conventual Franciscans live according to regulations called "The Rule of St. Francis."

He did not tell the people about his sin like Hester Prynne's was told. This sin made it unable for him to preach and bring a good change into people's lives because he was impure. People looked at him with great trust and saw him as a man of god but he betrayed that trust by giving into his feeling of lust for a short period of time. He is a impure minister of hidden dark secret which is against the rules of god, religion, society, and being a man of faith. The Scarlett Letter delivers a messege into our lives and teaches us an important rule in life.
Martin Luther spent his montastic life studying scripture and Catholic doctrine and while studying found that the Roman Catholic church had strayed far from the teachings of the doctrine and was becoming corrupt. Instead of being a religion for the people it had become a religion that preyed on the poor and uneducated and rewarded the rich and
Plainly the church was at a crucial point in the history of its relationship to the Salvadoran people. Would it help move them past an oppressive feudalism or retrench, thereby strengthening the hand of the oppressor? When Romero was promoted as Archbishop of San Salvador, the capital city, the ruling alliance intensified its opposition. Six priests were arrested and deported to Guatemala . One of them remarked that the church finally was where it was supposed to be: with the people, surrounded by the wolves.
Fox does not blame the Christian church for this disconnectedness, but instead believes that the church has, “…either foster[ed] or ignore[d] the continued damage to the earth” (Kinsley 166). The lack of empathy towards groups and beings at the bottom of a hierarchy created and dominated by patriarchy, has in turn created a lack of, “…spirituality of connectedness” and “…strong negative ecological implications” (Kinsley 167). Fox strongly believed a shift in paradigms towards a view of, “…Christ pervading the entire cosmos with sacrality, connectedness and wonder”(Kinsley 168) that emphasizes the sacredness of all creatures, instead of a God only concerned with individual salvation. Fox’s views on a shift in the views of Christianity, I believe, could be extremely beneficial to the modern world. Because so much of the world follows some sect of Christianity, a change in there fundamental views of nature and its place in our hierarchy, would have a huge impact on the entire
one must look at what is taking place in today’s society. What happened to Webber’s theory about the Protestant value system that gave birth to the spirit of capitalism? “We are interested… in… the influence of those psychological sanctions which, originating in religious belief and the practice of religion, gave a direction to practical conduct and held the individual to it.” In today’s society it seems as if Webber’s type of ethics is out of the norms. No one really seems to care about their conduct anymore and there is no individual accountability. It feels as is everyone’s heart has become cold.
“For I will preach and beg in various lands; I will not labor with my hands, or live by making baskets in order to keep from being an idle beggar.” (Beidler, “The Canterbury Tales.” 513) 2nd Thess 3:10 “For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.” God doesn’t like busybodies that won’t put their hands to proper use. The curse of the Earth is that man will sweat and toil to provide himself with food. This curse is still in effect and the Pardoner thinks that he can get away from working. The Pardoner is interested in the base things of the world and not the honest things. The Pardoner likes drinking and sexual immorality.
