Feast day: July 15
St. Bonaventure
Franciscan master general and cardinal called the 'Seraphic Doctor,' who matched Aquinas in brilliance while governing a sprawling order.
When papal envoys brought his cardinal's hat, they found him washing dishes. He asked them to hang it on a tree until he finished.
