... think of if I were to identify a building that would be the symbol of humanity. When I stand in its shadow I am overwhelmed, uplifted, saddened, quieted and comforted all at the same time.

Perhaps that is part of the reason Francis changed when he returned from being in prison for a year after being captured in the war with neigbouring Perugia. There is an invitation here to go deeper.
