Here, I explore the Franciscan Intellectual Tradition with its deep affinities for the Natural World, devotion to the Sacred Humanity of Christ (both in the Incarnation and Passion), intellectual parsimony as an aspect of Poverty, and the Infusion of Supernatural Grace into Human Nature, the Restoration of Friendship between Creation and Creator, for the securing of the Common Good between men, etc.  

This is an epistemology of humility that stems from the conversion of Sts. Francis and Clare down through the work of Roger Bacon, Raymond Lull, and St. Bonaventure, etc.  It is profoundly Trinitarian and sees Sacred History as a procession of the Father to the Son to the Holy Ghost where the Divine Economy of Salvation operates above human understanding yet infuses and sanctifies the souls of the Fallen.  [MORE TO COME]
