Yesterday, as Ellie and I visited different sites here in Rome, we visited one of the many churches here devoted to Mary but this one was special as it entombed St. Catherine of Siena who was a great mystic, and doctor of the Church. She was largely responsible for convincing Pope Gregory to return the Papacy to Rome from France. She was consulted by Popes, Kings, and great leaders about all kinds of issues because people knew her to be close to God. Funny thing is she was a Doctor of the Church who was illiterate. How much more could we do, being able to read and write? Something to think about...
