We’re not Catholic but watched the revelation and were EXTREMELY moved. Awesome! Bless him and all Christianity.

St. Francis Xavier was named after St. Francis of Assisi. Yes they were different orders.

Francis Xavier was one of the original seven who followed Ignatius, who founded the Society of Jesus.

“Francis Xavier, not Francis of Assisi. Different religious orders.”

Ah, thank you for the clarification. The people on the news assumed it was Francis of Assisi, but then they mentioned the Jesuits.

I’ll have to do some studying. :)
