Saint John XXIII - Secular Franciscan

Saint John XXIII was a member of the Secular Franciscan Order. I have heard that statement several times. Today, I found an official document from the Holy See confirming it. There is one sentence in the official biography used for his canonization. See "Rito della Canonizzazione e Celebrazione Eucaristica" [Rite of Canonization and Eucharistic Celebration] (PDF) (in Italian). It is accompanied by an English translation.
