Dear all,
Yes, please forgive my slight irreverence, but the picture of Francis seemed especially similar to a comic-book hero holding up the collapsing building.
No disrespect was intended toward Francis or his followers.
Peace,
Matt H.

I think because, in the image Matt gave us, Francis is trying to hold up a wall.

Why "As Superman"?
Here is an image of Francis receiving the stigmata, which also shows St Clare.
