Igreja/História: Especialista propõe redescoberta de São Francisco

In brief

Franciscan friar Hermínio Araújo has proposed a deeper study of the original texts of St. Francis of Assisi to mark the 800th anniversary of the saint's death.

Araújo suggested that scholars should rediscover the theological genius and evangelical radicalism of the saint by examining his primary writings. He noted that current understandings should not be taken as final without this deeper investigation into the original sources.
