Denounce Evil Wherever It Is Found (No "Sugar-Coated" Homilies)

Francis had first convinced himslef of the truth of what he preached to others by practicing it in his own life and so he proclaimed the truth confidently, without fear of reproof. He denounced evil wherever he found it, and made no effort to palliate it; from him a life of sin met with outspoken rebuke.
