what favor he wished. 1t would be granted, pro
yided IL benefited all Of the Church.
"St. Francis replied that ho wished the COM
plete indulgence and remission OF tho sins of
those who prayed at the chapel, provided they
had confessed and received communion before
so doing. Christ answered that 10 HoIorius ILL.,.
who was then tho Pope. was willing, he would
grant the indulgence. The Pope and tho Cardi-
fused his request. The winter camt. and ono
