Francis as an exemplary rebel against the cruelty and heartless greed of the capitalist world--a passionate, fluent biography that's one part history, two parts sermon. Holl is a rebel himself, a radical Austrian priest who's been forbidden by his superiors to teach (theology) or engage in any official ministry. NOTE: Adolf Holl was an Austrian Catholic writer and theologian. He lived in Vienna, where he was Chaplain of the University of Vienna and a lecturer in its Department of Catholic Theology. Because of conflicts with Church authorities, he was suspended from his teaching and priestly duties.
