1204 CE to 1215 CE
Dominic (Domingo) De Guzmán consolidates a community of preachers, both voluntarily poor and learned in theology, as the Order of Preachers, the nucleus of the religious order that bears his name: the Dominicans.
Francis of Assisi consolidates a following to whom preaches the necessity of a poor, simple lifestyle based on the ideals of the Gospels.
Pope Innocent III grants him and his disciples permission to preach on moral topics, and has Francis ordained a deacon.
The followers increase, called by Francis friars minor—the lesser brethren, and soon become known as the Franciscans, with a women’s branch founded by Clare of Assisi and known as the Poor Clares.
