I think St. Francis was being too harsh with that guardian because the guardian was only doing what he thought was right. Since a Franciscan was in the guardian’s presence in his home, perhaps that changes things and St. Francis was right. But if that Franciscan was not living in that home, then I’m with the guardian’s response. I don’t think one can be naive when it comes to bad people. That’s the world we live in. To expect everyone to be a saint is absurd. If one chooses to be a saint, then ok, then one can be consistent with those Gospel demands. But some people just want to live ordinary lives, and to be left alone. That is, to not be victimized.
