Don Francesco, we love you!
Italians love St. Francis. As everybody knows, St. Francis remained a deacon and was never ordained priest.
This is because Francis learned by revelation/vision that the soul of a priest should be as pure as the water that was shown to him in a crystal vessel.

I have heard from a very reliable Franciscan that St. Francis was not a Deacon. The confusion came from the fact that as a founder of a religious order he was allowed to don a dalmatic and proclaim the gospel. Also, there was no permanent diaconate at that time.
I will try to check my sources on this one.
I love the blog. God bless!
I love the endless line across the street, waiting to get into the Vatican Museums.
