St. Therese - a poster displayed at Lisieux in 2009. With thanks to Peter and Liane Klostermann.
Read online for free "Therese of Lisieux: Doctor of the Church. A Study of the Cause, Process, and Proclamation of October 19, 1997," a master's thesis by Mary-Ellen Malolepszy in the department of theological studies of Concordia University in Montreal. Among other themes, the author examines:
- the history of the cause for Therese as a doctor of the Church in detail, with some comments about the role attributed to American Catholic dignitaries;
- the role played by the Carmelite Order in the process
- the issue of gender in relationship to Therese's doctorate;
- contemporary themes in the life and doctrine of Therese
- future implications of Therese's doctorate
This paper contains details about the process of Therese's doctorate that, to my knowledge, have not been available online before now. Although it is a graduate thesis, it is highly readable. Enjoy it.
