 Another central idea for Olivi was that one should not obey one’s superiors if obeying their commands entails sinful action or the violation of the Franciscan vow, thus endangering one’s salvation. Given Olivi’s flexible view of the scope of the poor use, this last restriction makes the limit between the duties of obedience and disobedience vague. Each individual friar must judge in his own conscience whether he should obey or disobey (and ultimately protest) the commands of their superiors. It is not surprising that Olivi’s theoretical model of the vow, in conjunction with the potential for disobedience, fueled the political controversy within the Franciscan order and the Church (Burr 2001, pp. 64–65).
