  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Order of Preachers
The Preachers also furnished many delegate judges holding their powers either from the bishops or from the pope, but the order as such had no mission properly so called, and the legislation for the repression of heresy was in particular absolutely foreign to it.
The same solicitude to remove the order from the odium of the inquisitorial office impelled the provincial chapter of Cahors (1244) to forbid that anything should accrue to the friars from the administration of the Inquisition, that the order might not be slandered.
The Preachers, who had been constituted from the beginning as an order of clerics vowed to ecclesiastical duties with a view to supplementing the insufficiency of the secular clergy, were universally accepted by the episcopate, which was unable to provide for the pastoral care of the faithful and the instruction of clerics.

In short order also, the Dominicans were given chief responsibility in administering the Inquisition (which was in direct violation of Dominic's original understanding of their mission); and they also sought and obtained professorships in the new universities, becoming highly influential within the life of the institutional church.
Of a different order of things was the movement started by Giovanni Bernardone, known as the "Frenchman" or Francesco (Francis).
In fact, he resisted as long as he could the creation of a formal "order," fearing that the institutionalizing of his movement would destroy its original spirit.
