I like the message in this one.

And I like Brother Leo, but some things about his characterization bother me.  I've spent a good amount of time in monasteries, and monks are VERY knowledgeable.  He's a tonsured friar, but he seems to know NOTHING.  "Can I wear a cross?"  Of COURSE you can wear a cross - you're a friar!  Who ever heard of a friar wondering if it's okay to wear a cross?  You don't know unless you ask the Pope?

And why would Francis tell him not to play with his rope belt? (which he would almost certainly call a "cincture," not a "rope belt" but that may be for the sake of the reader. )
