The Pope, Usury, Lady Poverty, and the Donation of Constantine: Franciscan Ideas in Dante.
What was Dante’s relation to money? Why did he view wealth as the source of church corruption? Was he a Franciscan? At the root of all these questions is a document known as the Donation of Constantine. Radical Franciscan thinkers offer an answer to some of these complex historical and theological issues with a proposed return to the church’s purer past. The quest for poverty, reconciliation, and love govern the poet’s intense interaction with Franciscanism.
