Holiness, the Church, and the Road Less Traveled Most Rev. Charles - TopicsExpress



          

Holiness, the Church, and the Road Less Traveled Most Rev. Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap. From the sep/oct 2002 Issue of Lay Witness Magazine Before I was a bishop and even before I was a priest, I became a Capuchin Franciscan. The Capuchins were a reform movement within the Franciscan community. They wanted to get back to the real St. Francis; the radical, simple St. Francis. So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that Francis of Assisi has always had a big place in my life. History calls Francis the vir Catholicus-the embodiment of everything a Catholic believer should be; a person filled with faith, joy, simplicity, courage, charity, and zeal for Jesus Christ. Francis had all these qualities, and of course even non- Catholics remember him because of his love for animals and nature, and his witness for peace. ow.ly/oZJiF
