PhuturePriest Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 what about Francis de Sales? Hmph, can't a doctor of the Church get some love? Not according to a Vatican official, who said it was Saint Francis of Assisi that he took his name after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Era Might Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) Don't forget the poverty of St. Francis...I think the papal name is all about a moment of radical humility and witness to the poor that he represents, and a humbling of the church in general. That's what moved me about it...his entire introduction was about humility, bowing down first for the blessing of the people before he gave his own blessing. It inspired a great hope in me, that this man chose this moment not as a moment of kingly glorification, but apostolic humility. That the poverty of the gospel is not lost, but lives.

Laudate_Dominum Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) More confirmation that it's Francis of Assisi. The video, around 4:25, Dolan says that he was there when the Pope specifically said it was after Francis of Assisi.http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2013/03/13/cardinal-dolan-to-ny-press-on-not-being-voted-pope-i-told-ya-so/ Edited March 14, 2013 by Laudate_Dominum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
