'Francis was not a sentimental animal-lover of the cute-puppy kind. He was the kind of holy man technically referred to as a nutcase'. So says Sara Miles in a sermon excerpt reported in the pages of Episcopal Cafe last January. Read the full piece, and give some thought to who this man (the most popular saint after the Blessed Virgin Mary), really was.
