Who is Saint Dominic? What did he do?
Why did, according to Dominic and Diego, most preachers fail? What did the Dominicans do instead?
- Dominic, Diego, and their followers guessed that their reason for much failure was the arrogance of the preachers, who traveled on horseback, richly adorned, and followed by a retinue.
- After gaining a privilege from the pope to preach and teach, the Dominicans (named after Dominic) went about on foot in poor clothes and begged for their food.
What did the Dominicans require of their recruits?
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding

Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.

The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
How did married men and women associate themselves with the Dominicans?
Who is Saint Francis and how did he become a priest?
- Saint Francis (1181/1182-1226), founder of the Franciscans, was never a priest.
- He was on his way to a promising career as a cloth merchant at Assisi (Italy) when he experienced a complete conversion.
- Rejecting wealth, he accepted no money, walked without shoes, wore only one coarse tunic, and refused to be confined even in a monastery.
How did the Franciscans spent their time?
How did the Franciscans grow?
- Normally, only bishops had authority to preach and to allow others to preach. But Francis's little group - with the help of the bishop of Assisi - found acceptance at the papal court, and around 1209 Pope Innocent authorized it to preach penance.
- Thereafter, the order grew and dispersed. Soon there were Franciscans throughout Italy, France, Spain, the Crusader States, and a bit later in Germany, England, Scotland, Poland, and elsewhere.
Who is Clare? What did she want? What was the response to this?
- Early converts included women: in 1211 or 1212 Francis converted the young noblewoman Clare.
- She joined a community of women at San Damiano, a church in Assisi. Clare wanted her group to follow the rule and lifestyle of the friars.
- But the pope disapproved of the women's worldly activities. Soon the many sisters following Francis were confined to cloisters under the Rule of Saint Benedict.
Who are the Tertiaries? What did they do?
- In the course of the thirteenth century, laypeople, many of them married, formed their own Franciscan order, the "Tertiaries."
- They dedicated themselves to works of charity and to daily church attendance.
