Topic Scope And Freshness
Key Notes
Jiang says the two champions named in the canto are Francis and Dominic.
He frames the symbolic pairing as Francis marrying poverty while Dominic marries faith.
The quoted canto presents Dominic as a loving servant of Christian faith and as a figure born to defend and revive the Church.
The quoted canto presents Dominic as a torrent striking the thickets of heresy and also warns that his own order later lost its original track and became internally divided.
He says prior hope that figures like Francis and Dominic would reform the Catholic Church failed because the church stayed corrupt and instead corrupted the radical force of those orders.
