But, I find it more ironic that Mr. Comfort is putting St. Francis on trial for his attitude toward preaching. St. Francis and his followers were no strangers to preaching, and even boldly preached the Gospel to the sultan in Egypt. As usual, televangelists' ability to do the most basic research before "confronting a topic" leaves me unimpressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddington Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 At no point in the article does Ray Comfort disagree with St. Francis. Ray is crazy in his attention-grabbers tho. He compliments Francis at the bottom and separates St. Francis from any misuse of the quote. I made the mistake of not getting that at first. I guess I wasn't alone either.

For me, this is something akin to quoting Our Lord in today's Gospel reading ([url="http://www.usccb.org/nab/bible/luke/luke12.htm#v49"]Lk 12:49-53[/url]) and suggesting that He wanted to hinder peace and family harmony.

He thought one day, that, "hey, I wanna be a martyr! I'm goona go boldly preach to the sultan in his Tent!" And off he went with a couple of brothers, and it turned out the sultan didn't kill him, but he listened to St Francis... and I think there was something noted about the guy's boldness by the Sultan...
