should think about these certain topics. His book gives us thoughts and beliefs that may not have been meant to exemplify Francis and his life but it does. On page 190 of Catholic Christianity, an important topic that I believe connects with Francis, Clare, and myself is the importance of virtue.

My goal for this paper is for you to get to go know Anthony and hopefully go through his life for birth to his canonize day for you…
