Carmelites don't mind losing a battle of wits - their centre of operations is the heart :love:

Haha! This was actually my thought, too.... I don't think wit is precisely the charism of either the Carmelites or the Franciscans. Now, if the two orders had a "Love God unto Folly" contest, let's say matching St. Therese the Little Flower against St Francis.... in a spontaneous, live poem/ canticle composing competition.... that might be interesting.

I'd wager money -- I mean a donation to the winning order -- on St Therese, but I'd be conservative :)
