—Saint Bernardine, a Franciscan who lived in the 1400s was often referred to as the “Apostle of Italy,” and Pope Pius II compared him to St. Paul after hearing him preach. Bernardine attracted crowds of up to 30,000 people and had cities competing for a stop on his tour… After Bernardine’s preaching, people would scamper to confession “like ants.”
