Paper Summary:
John Moormans' book, "Saint Francis of Assisi", is a detailed look into the life and accomplishments of Francesco Bernardone, better known as Saint Francis, from his youth until his death in 1226. This paper looks into the background of the author John Moorman, provides a thorough summary of the book and relates the book's meaning to today's society.
From the Paper:
"From today's prospective, Saint Francis of Assisi's literal extremist message would probably not sit well with modern society. Our society is built on capitalism and money; personal possessions are looked upon as requirements. Although Saint Francis' message is inspiring and noble, it does not make practical sense and is too harsh in many areas. People need to handle money, have a house or shelter of their own, and buy their own food. It is utterly amazing in my point of view that Saint Francis was able to survive his lifestyle."
