Cited for this book
Written at her confessor’s order, not for publication, and covering both her interior life and the very public suspicion it drew — the holy men around her who doubted the visions were from God at all, and told her so. Her own answer became the chapter’s subtitle: the test is not the vision’s beauty but its fruit. Rome named her a Doctor of the Church in 1970, one of the first two women given the title.
