Vincent Ferrer – France – 14th Century
The Lord never promised a perfect church. In the days of
Vincent, there were two rival Popes, for the honour of Papacy. This divided
the loyalty of people. Vincent was a friend of Benedict 13th whom
he supported, as anti-pope in Avignon, France. Meantime, Urban was the
legitimate Pope in Rome. Later, Vincent saw his mistake and pleaded with
his friend Benedict to resign.
Vincent was world famous for his effective preaching. He
predicted the end of the world. Even Saints are limited and human in their
vision, but they are always preachers of God’s Love and Mercy.
