ST. FRANCIS 

The Reformer

Rebuild my Church! That’s the mission Christ gave to St. Francis and it’s the perennial task of the Church in every age of its life. But how is the reform and renewal of the Church to be accomplished? The life of St. Francis demonstrates that Christ intends the foundations of true and lasting reform to be built on the solid rock that is the radical witness of the saints.

NOTE:  The Pivotal Players Volumes are not currently available on Formed.org.  Volume 1 is currently offered courtesy of Word On Fire.

Are you interested in learning more about the Catholic Church? If you have ever wondered: Is the Catholic Church the first and only true church? Where did the papacy come from? Has there always been a pope? Why is the Church involved in politics; shouldn't the Church disengage from the political sphere and be a spiritual influence instead?  Is the Church anti-Semitic? What's the deal with Mary, saints, relics, etc…?  Which church came first Catholic or Orthodox?  This interesting class will be offered again soon. Please check the "calendar" link to the right for dates.  If there is not a class currently listed, please check back often for new updates!  Please click here to view videos of previous classes!
