“You said Francis of Assisi’s canticle was ‘idolatry.’”

No I didn’t

You said, “Brother Fire, Sister Moon, and Mother Earth.” words of idolatry, if this the worst of it, I can deal with it.

These are the words of S. Francis' Canticle. They are not idolatry. Idolatry means adoring some being other than the One True God. Francis makes it clear he is adoring God alone.
