“St. Francis was so great and original a man that he had something in him of what makes the founder of a religion . . . That was the point the Pope had to settle; whether Christendom should absorb Francis or Francis Christendom. And he decided rightly, . . . for the Church could include all that was good in the Franciscans and the Franciscans could not include all that was good in the Church.” — St. Francis of Assisi, Garden City, NY: Doubleday Image, 1924, 150-151 – G. K. Chesterton
