They may have been in ancient history but I don't know about now. I doubt that. The Franciscans are members of a religious order that follows the rule of Saint Francis of Assisi. The first Franciscans, called the Order of Friars Minor, followed an ideal of total poverty; they possessed nothing in common or individually. Forbidden to accept money, they lived from day to day by working and begging. http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/article/franciscan
