Ascetics


St. Francis of Assisi objected to friars having books besides the Scriptures because they were unnecessary.  In stark contrast, Paul valued not only the Scriptures but also his other books and asked them to be brought to him in prison.  Francis taught that money should be shunned as the devil himself.
