St Francis of Assisi was a Roman Catholic who criticized the excesses of Church officials and chose to shame them by giving up his wealthy inheritance and dressing in rags.

He founded the order of the Franciscans which differed from other orders in that they spent their lives around the needy instead of sequestered in a monastery.
