Dominican
order
extraordinarily
successful

by
Francis of Assisi
(1181/82-1226)
young
and
wealthy
merchant

all his
possessions
F. distributed
the proceeds of
the sale of
his possessions
to the poor

preach
love of
your
neighbour

tirelessly
soon
followed by
many
companions

together with
his companions
through
villages
and towns

the precepts of
the Gospel
into practice

scandalous
conduct

to act
with the
overwhelming
force of his
good example

Canticle of
Creatures
responds to
the Cathars
Cathars thought
:
creation is
the work of
the God of evil
Francis' view
:
creation is
the positive
work of God

it warms, illuminates
and brings joy
beautiful

had chosen

the heretics

order
