7 Women Who Changed the Catholic Church

[@maryburke6776]

Catherine Mc Auley founder of the Sisters of Mercy!

[@emptylikebox]

Catherine of Siena is my favorite. I wish St Theresa of Avila is here as well.

[@phyllisouellette7896]

Thank you for including Dorothy Day. She would have hated the inclusion, but I love it.

[@101jir]

I was really hoping you would mention Hildegard von Bingen! It takes one kind of bravery to fight on a battlefield or to say something to _someone_ that they might not like. Literally calling out a majority of the upper clergy for their corruption because God told you to is a very different, underappreciated form of bravery. It wasn't an attempt to discredit the church or just lash out like a lot of people now that are just angry. On the contrary, she tried to warn Catholic leaders of her time about the scandal they were committing. She didn't even want to be as harsh as she was asked to be. But she said what she had to in an attempt to rectify some very, very wrong things that were happening. Also, that was really interesting about Flannery O'Conner! I want to check out her writings now. As someone that is currently trying to write something similar (albeit via high fantasy and with less humor as that is not currently a strongpoint of mine) I would really like to see how she balances everything.

[@marlenesmall5527]

And what about Teresa of Avila? She certainly had a big impact in her time and still helps us go deeper in our spiritual life today. Not a complaint. All the women chosen were great and I think they made your point.

[@thomasharris4425]

You should've included St. Bernadette of Lourdes. Her apparition is what converted me and it is why she is my patron saint.

[@annefalola9278]

My favorite is Dorothy Day! Love her loads, her audacity, passion and radicalism as a woman of faith within the socio-political system.

[@Nurichiri]

My Patron Saint is Elizabeth of the Trinity, a near contemporary of St. Therese. She channeled her temper as a child into getting a vocation in the nearby Carmelite convent, no matter what. Her mom tried to talk her out of it and she had suitors, but she was determined. She wrote works, most notably a prayer "Holy Trinity Whom I Adore". She died at the age of 26 to Addison's Disease.

@@PaulTesta The only intercessor for prayers is Jesus, not mary. 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, Jesus is considered our High priest, for reference in the Old Testament, a high priest was the only one who was able to past through the veil to enter the Holy of Holies. Hebrews 4:14-16 14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

What about Theresa of Avila who helped John of the Cross reform the Carmelite Order? Or given the movie comes out about her this week, St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, who did, well a lot would be considered an understatement, for what she did for the Italian immigrants and all of New York!

[@alphacause]

I am surprised that Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini was not on this list. There is film about her life, simply called "Cabrini", being released this Friday (March 8, 2024), which is garnering rave reviews from even secular critics. While I know it is not possible to list every outstanding woman who has contributed much to our Church, I figure this would be an opportune time to mention her as a biopic about her life is just a few days away.

[@uikmnhj4me]

Flannery O Connor also has a biopic coming out this spring! Watch out for a movie called Wildcat in May or June. Star studded cast, and super faithful to the deeply catholic life Flannery led. I got to see an early screening and it’s soooo good
