WOF 406: The Genius of G.K. Chesterton's "St. Francis"
Today we share Bishop Barron's keynote talk from the 2023 Chesterton Conference from July 27, 2023, in Minneapolis, MN. The theme of the conference was "Chesterton and St. Francis" as it is the 100th anniversary of the publication of Chesterton's biography of St. Francis, and Bishop Barron spoke about the enduring genius of that book. Enjoy!
