Writing on St. Francis this weekend for the Dallas Morning News. This weekend marks 800 years since his death, and as Pope Leo XIV says, “St. Francis still speaks.” My simple suggestion is that St. Francis shows us what a real evangelical looks like. www.dallasnews.com/opinion/comm...

Whitfield: St. Francis was a true evangelical

The Poverello was a saint who loved everything and everyone.
