Editing Order of Friars Minor Capuchin (section)

===Early setbacks===
At the outset of its history, the Capuchins underwent a series of severe blows. Two of the founders left it: Matteo Serafini of Bascio ([[Matteo Bassi]]) returning to the Observants, while his first companion, on being replaced in the office of Vicar Provincial, became so insubordinate that he had to be expelled from the Order. Even more scandalously, the third Vicar General, [[Bernardino Ochino]], left the Catholic faith in 1543 after fleeing to [[Switzerland]], where he was welcomed by [[John Calvin]], became a [[Calvinism|Calvinist]] [[pastor]] in [[Zürich]], and married. Years later, claims that he had written in favor of [[polygamy]] and [[Unitarianism]] caused him to be exiled from that city and he fled again, first to Poland and then to Moravia, where he died.

As a result, the whole province came under the suspicion of [[heresy|heretical]] tendencies and the [[Pope]]{{specify|date=March 2019}} resolved to suppress it. He was dissuaded with difficulty, but the Capuchins were forbidden to preach.
