The modern idea
is that it is important to return to the spirit of the founder as opposed to the Rule of an order (horror: as if this is two different things). Here is a Franciscan who does neither and states:
"Evil for Jesus becomes, paradoxically, the illusory and arrogant attempt to expel or eliminate evil. He himself is always shockingly patient with sinners. Jesus contains evil in a new way-- by refusing to give his energy in actively opposing it."
So much for the cleansing of the Temple.
