Takes a look at St Francis of Assisi, and the idea of voluntary poverty as a basis for Christian perfection. The author finds that while Francis's conception of poverty as a spiritual discipline may have opened the door to salvation for wealthy Christians, it precluded the idea that the poor could use their poverty as a path to heaven.
