The Saint Who Rolled With the Pigs

St. Francis was born in the 1180s, into the family of a wealthy Italian merchant, and at first enjoyed his privileged life, but everything turned around when he received a vision of Jesus telling him to “rebuild my church.” Jesus was apparently talking about the corrupted Catholic Church, but Francis took him way too literally and started rebuilding his local church building. Then things got even more awkward when St. Frank realized fixing up a church was way more expensive than he had thought, and started selling his dad's merchandise to buy materials.
