Saint Francis of Assisi died 800 years ago. On October 4th, the Catholic Church celebrates the anniversary of the saint, one of the most important in all of its history.

The world will remember Saint Francis of Assisi as one of the most important saints and theologians in the history of the Catholic Church.

The article highlights that Francis was also a revolutionary who changed, as few before or after him did, the way people think, judge, blame, or feel.

The author expresses his hope that, on the day of the anniversary, this revolutionary facet of the saint will be celebrated, considering it difficult to find someone who has had such a profound impact on the way humanity relates to these feelings and values.
