Prof. Felice Acrocca who was presented by me to the brothers.....he is the author of many books...He is very connected and
associated with the Capuchins for a long time, especially with our Historical
Institute here in the college. He has
been one of the main proponents of Franciscan spirituality and history for
several years. He has a great understanding of the Franciscan spirituality and
Capuchin Life and a great appreciation of what it takes to truly make a
Franciscan. What I learned about him is that he is also just a fascinating
person and we are all in for a treat this morning. Rev. Felice Accrocca (Latina) – is a
priest of the diocese of Latina-Terracina-Sezze-Priverno, episcopal vicar for
pastoral care and pastor in Latina. He is a scholar of medieval history and
teach- es in the faculty of history and cultural goods of the Church in the
Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome as well as in the Theological Institute
in Assisi. He is the author of numerous books and essays on Francis and Clare
of Assisi and on medieval Franciscanism.
Among many recent books we know a very
popular book called Un Santo di Carta, Le fonti biografiche di san Francesco e
la Chiesa Romana, La Scelta del Vangelo e la codificazione perdonare. Verita e
misericordia nell insegnamento di Francesco d’Assisi. Besides he along with Br.
Aleksander Horowski, have brought out a new critical edition of Thomas of
Celano.
His talk will focus on work in the
primitive Franciscan fraternity as a fruit of evangelical inspiration.
