	ForFriarsandMonks (7 months ago) Hi, I would like to ask if you could correct the wrong texts on your vid: "A day in the life of a Franciscan monk" (uploaded on August 05, 2007) since the word "monk" is misleading. In the vid itself it mentions that ST. Francis of Assisi founded the Order of FRIARS Minors. Knowing about how much many Swiss pay attention to details (my father was Swiss) it called my attention that you used a wrong word. I guess that there is no chance to correct the recording, right? but the texts can be corrected. Vielen Dank!. Peace.
