I’m very disappointed that we weren’t taught much about St. Francis the radical in Catholic school…

Why would they, when schools function to train children to go to college, get a job, and be “successful” according to American standards? ;)

A QUOTE

The world tries to tame Francis, to reduce him to the patron saint of birdbaths, to see him as merely a great animal lover or (more fashionably) as en ecologist. He was far more than that. Let us remind ourselves right away that Saint Francis of Assisi was possibly the most radical Christian the world had seen since the time of the apostles.
