The Dark Side of St. Francis of Assisi: The Saint Who Bled Beautiful

2025-08-07

In this episode, we uncover the dark side of St. Francis: the prisoner of war with possible PTSD, the mystic who bled with Christ, the man whose body rotted from illness and sacrifice while his brothers betrayed him. This isn’t the birdbath saint. This is the saint of wounds, blindness, rot, and song.
