Absolutely, David. Francis I am sure spoke of Christ more during the day with his mouth than several of us on the board put together (me for sure.) His audience, or whoever he was thinking about when he wrote that, were those who would make a mockery of Christianity by not having the graciousness of God to them being lived out in their lives. To me that is simply hypocrisy a deadly trait and embarrassing to see (esp. if you a "saint" like Francis was/is still)
