A very saintly man and one who I admire greatly. Thanks for sharing this brilliant lecture, it's good to see it posted here. 

I'm glad you posted that, DL. You can also find a good portion of his writings in the book A Guide to Righteous Living and Other Works, which can be bought HERE. Since I own a copy, I may consider posting a review or two on some of the works contained in this book, like his treatise Ten Rules to Observe in Times of Great Tribulations (quite appropriate for our times) or his Exposition on the Prayer to the Virgin (a beautiful explanation of the Hail Mary). 

I think that Savonarola will be one day canonized, once the 6th Age of the Church (when the world shall be converted, and the Church will be restored from its crisis) is in full motion. 

Here's some other informative videos about him:

But wasn't he excommunicated by the Pope? Is there anything to prove his excommunication was non canonical?

Yes, the charges were claimed to be ѕєdιтισn and "heresy." But, keep in mind he was preaching against the corruption and excesses of the clergy during the Renaissance under Pope Alexander VI, so he certainly made a lot of enemies with his words. I wouldn't immediately dismiss him just because he was excommunicated by a corrupt Pope. Recall that St. Joan was condemned and executed as an enemy of the Church too.
