O Segredo De Francisco (original) (raw)

2014, ATUALIDADE TEOLÓGICA

Cardinal Bergoglio, when he was elected by the other cardinals, chose to call himself Pope Francis, an unprecedented name in the history of the Church. This choice immediately touched everyone: the Pope had chosen to call himself by the name of the most popular saint in the history of the Catholic Church. Behind this name there must be an idea, a project, a secret. The reflection of Prof. Marco Bartoli intends to investigate the history and the life of Francis of Assisi, in order to come to understand the "secret" of the saint of Assisi, which today, after eight centuries, is presented by the Pope as a model for the Church of tomorrow.The most reliable source to understand the intent and the choice of Francis of Assisi is his Testament, which is the text he wrote in the last days of his life to leave for his brothers the memory of the first steps of his evangelical way.
