St. John of Capistran was many things, a Franciscan, a theologian,
a crusader, but ultimately a reformer of the Church, a friend of
saints and a man zealous for the salvation of souls. The deep
remorse that took possession of him on the day of his conversion
never left him and remained the dominant attitude of his mind. This
penitential disposition underlay his preaching. Setting aside all
reserve, he would make public confession in the pulpit, thus
emulating the penitent Magdalene, his favorite saint. We are not
surprised that such an energetic temperamental nature, always ready
for action and battle, did not escape reproaches of irascibility
and impetuosity. Yet appeals to his sympathy must have been
frequent. Capistrano's history is inextricably bound up with the
great figures and world events of the 15th century. Hofer, in this
powerful historical biography of the saint, traces his life as a
reformer, preacher, and leading a Crusade to stop the Turkish
onslaught into Europe.
