Francis took a literal approach to the Gospel. He began with the most basic interpretation of a text, but he didn’t stop there.
Pope Francis, like his namesake, St. Francis of Assisi, calls us to read God’s presence not only in our holy books but in the holiness of the world around us, plant and animal as well as human.
