Pope Innocent III's Vision


Pope Innocent III had seen a vision from heaven and by divine inspiration he now testified that it would be fulfilled in Francis. As he himself described it, he had a dream in which he saw the Lateran basilica which was threatening to fall being held up by a poor beggerman who put his back to it. "This is certainly the man," he added. "By his work and teaching, he will uphold Christ's Church!"
