There's an old saying often attributed to St. Francis of Assisi: preach the Gospel at all times. If necessary, use words. While St. Francis likely never said those words, Pope Francis, who took his papal name from the 13th century saint, seemed to use them as a mission statement. Like all popes, Francis, who died on Monday at age 88, did his fair share of preaching with words.
