Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Mario Freitas

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

thank you all for the suggestions! My client, ,a consecrated person himself, thought brotherhood was best, and I agreed.
have a nice one!

Nowadays "Fraternity" tends to have academic implications. See:

Bett (asker) Jun 3, 2016:
I had thought about these words. My problem is that "fraternity" is an organization of laymen for religious or charitable purposes, which is not the case, as this intitution congregates both laymen and consecrated members.
Nick Taylor Jun 3, 2016:
@Bett Please Google "brotherhood" in conjunction with the "sacred name" you have witheld. Then, and only then, by the grace of God may you find enlightenment in your quest. Searched are the like which include the term St Francis with a plethora of likenesses.
Francis was a man of action. His simplicity of life extended to ideas and deeds. If there was a simple way, no matter how impossible it seemed, Francis would take it. So when Francis wanted approval for his brotherhood, he went straight to Rome to see Pope Innocent III.
