WOF 385: The Franciscan Intellectual Tra...

BISHOP ROBERT BARRON
About this episode

Friends, many people are familiar with the Thomistic tradition, following St. Thomas Aquinas, but what about the Franciscan intellectual tradition, following St. Francis? Who are some of the great Franciscan theologians, and what can they teach us today? That's what Brandon Vogt and I discuss on today's episode of "The Word on Fire Show."

A listener asks, does God the Father love us as much as he loves Jesus and the Holy Spirit?
