Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa
Preacher to the Papal Household
Francis had first convinced himself 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, not support...Men and women of every age flocked to see and hear this new preacher...
