2. How were the Gothic cathedrals different from earlier types of cathedrals?

Answer 1

Cool questions! 1. Many of the newer orders went out into the world, while many of the earlier orders (Benedictine, etc.) were monastic in nature. 3. The Franciscans were beloved for many reasons, partly because of their gentleness, kindness, and emphasis on loving others. St. Francis was famed for his statement, "Preach always. Sometimes use words." That's a crude paraphrase.
