Tenet or tenant? Least or leased?

This is getting hilarious! Love the rambling minds...

My first thought was that this was referring to the church mice, who are typically described as impoverished.

So I asked an old order brethren today, ‘How do you know which rules are okay to break & which ones aren’t?’

He said, ‘If I’d just get nicely asked to stop, I can do it.
If it would get me a visit by the ministry, I don’t do it.’

So there, mystery solved. :?
