Interesting to revisit this piece (both) and read the comments. Clearly the commentors are impressed by the apocryphal presentation and the impossible dialogue to confirm versus a comment of actual visitation and the heart felt movement of the soul by someone that appreciates the life of St. Francis. Yes, St Francis and a few of his followers met with the Church. The record of what was said has been lost to antiquity. Rome (The Church) would not and did not welcome them and they were at odds for a Very long time.

The pope saw the innocence and simplicity of St. Francis, so this is why he said it.

Indeed. "Fun" fact: I was in trouble with choosing his Hindi dubber. My first choice was Sunil Nagar, whom I've seen as Pitamah ( =Grandsire) Bhishma in Ramanand Sagar's Shri Krishna, but as it turned out that he was non-cooperative (I assume he's atleast bipolar), I had to investigate again. If I hadn't chosen Rajpal Premi for Pietro di Bernardone, I don't know what the heck would happen to the Hindi dubbing. Because Raj has unwillingly (by a Facebook post) reminded me of another serial in which he played: it was Sanjay Khan's Jai Hanuman where he had the title role. I checked out the cast, browsed all the actors in senior roles - and found Sudhir Dalvi, who was Sage Valmiki 2.0 in the serial. An interview with him was the proof that he's an even more authentic counterpart of Sir Alec Guinness than Sunil. I've given a big thanks to Raj for his outstanding social capital, which always keeps some first aid for the werk progress. He's an unreplaceable part of the dubbing cast. Phalguni Parikh / Pica also confirmed that I've chosen the new Pope well because Sudhirji was a very sober man.

When the pope is wrapped in those robes, the way that he closes his eyes in resignation makes them almost seem like chains. I think, perhaps, that for holy men like him, wealth and authority are burdens. However, for a truly holy man, no burden is too great to undertake in the service of God. And yes. There is such a thing as original sin. It was the first of five covenants with God, broken by the decision of a man.

The glory of the beautiful churches was and is a great Catechism for all, especially the poor and illiterate of old - who were most people up to the 20th century. How many have been led to faith by the holiness that lives in those spaces. But God lives everywhere? How true, and how easy to forget, as our daily world (more now than in the past I think) contains so many distractions and so little to remind us of Him. Every Church reminds us of what the world is and our culture and lives are meant to be. We are the living temples of the living God. Tabernacles, if you receive His Body and Blood, and have Life within you.

Interesting to revisit this piece (both) and read the comments. Clearly the commentors are impressed by the apocryphal presentation and the impossible dialogue to confirm versus a comment of actual visitation and the heart felt movement of the soul by someone that appreciates the life of St. Francis. Yes, St Francis and a few of his followers met with the Church. The record of what was said has been lost to antiquity. Rome (The Church) would not and did not welcome them and they were at odds for a Very long time.

The pope saw the innocence and simplicity of St. Francis, so this is why he said it. Any man or woman can achieve this innocence and purity, but it requires we interiorlly detach ourselves completely from the world and sin, and have our heart set out completely for Jesus. It's the only way.

Indeed. "Fun" fact: I was in trouble with choosing his Hindi dubber. My first choice was Sunil Nagar, whom I've seen as Pitamah ( =Grandsire) Bhishma in Ramanand Sagar's Shri Krishna, but as it turned out that he was non-cooperative (I assume he's atleast bipolar), I had to investigate again. If I hadn't chosen Rajpal Premi for Pietro di Bernardone, I don't know what the heck would happen to the Hindi dubbing. Because Raj has unwillingly (by a Facebook post) reminded me of another serial in which he played: it was Sanjay Khan's Jai Hanuman where he had the title role. I checked out the cast, browsed all the actors in senior roles - and found Sudhir Dalvi, who was Sage Valmiki 2.0 in the serial. An interview with him was the proof that he's an even more authentic counterpart of Sir Alec Guinness than Sunil. I've given a big thanks to Raj for his outstanding social capital, which always keeps some first aid for the werk progress. He's an unreplaceable part of the dubbing cast. Phalguni Parikh / Pica also confirmed that I've chosen the new Pope well because Sudhirji was a very sober man.

When the pope is wrapped in those robes, the way that he closes his eyes in resignation makes them almost seem like chains. I think, perhaps, that for holy men like him, wealth and authority are burdens. However, for a truly holy man, no burden is too great to undertake in the service of God. And yes. There is such a thing as original sin. It was the first of five covenants with God, broken by the decision of a man.

"If I saw an angel and a priest walking down the street, I would rather greet the priest than the angel, because the priest has his hands blessed by Jesus Christ." "If the bishops wanted to cut off my head, I would go to seek refuge in the bishops themselves, because the bishops are where they are because God gave them the authority to act." St. Francis.Saint Fancis was not against the riches of the church. Like the bible it is not a book that describes heaven, but how to get to heaven; riches are not bad; they are a means of doing good to others.

The glory of the beautiful churches was and is a great Catechism for all, especially the poor and illiterate of old - who were most people up to the 20th century. How many have been led to faith by the holiness that lives in those spaces. But God lives everywhere? How true, and how easy to forget, as our daily world (more now than in the past I think) contains so many distractions and so little to remind us of Him. Every Church reminds us of what the world is and our culture and lives are meant to be. We are the living temples of the living God. Tabernacles, if you receive His Body and Blood, and have Life within you.
