What Kind of Church did Saint Francis of Assisi know? Analyzing the Church Attributes as an Eventual Tool to Uncover One Spiritual Experience

Summary/Abstract: Pope Francis when choosing his pontifical name was inspired by Saint Francis of Assisi. Pope Francis often mentions his desire for the Church which is poor for the poor. It is well known that dimension of poverty was important also for St. Francis. But what was he focusing on when talking about the Church? Was it poverty? In this work we analyse the image of the Church in the spiritual experience of St. Francis of Assisi. The research is based on The Writings of St. Francis. We are looking for a specific indications about the Church, explicit and implicit, in order to gather sufficient amount of data for reconstruction of St. Francis understanding of the Church. Firstly we offer a brief context of the Church at that time. The core of the work is the analysis of texts supported with statistics and tables. In conclusion we bring interesting interpretation of the gathered data and we do comparison of the image of the Church in life of St. Francis with the one that Pope Francis has.
