'For non-Catholics, Francis is the easiest saint to understand and love, while Dominic is the most difficult, once remarked Chesterton...'

St Dominic by Albrecht Dürer

That's the opening line of a recent blogpost (not a long one) by fr Patrick Mary Briscoe OP, on how, for so many people, our holy father Dominic's allegedly flinty intellectual edge obscures his love for and identification with the poor.

(We nicked the Dürer pic from fr Patrick Mary, too.)
