Közeledés Istenhez a teológiai erények útján Sziénai Szent Katalin tanításában
Absztrakt
Pope Paul VI. declared St. Catherine of Siena and St. Theresa of Avila to be Doctors of the Church, breaking by this act a long tradition in a twofold way: first, because they were the first two female Doctors of the Church; second, because Catherine of Siena became the first and so far only Doctor who is a lay person. In this study, we shall examine St. Catherine’s account of the three theological virtues in the Dialogues. The questions we shall ask are: what has Catherine to say concerning our ability to know the love of God? How is the gift of the fear of God connected to hopefulness? What are the stages of growth in love?
The Catechism of the Catholic Church stresses that the three theological virtues prepare us for an essential relationship with the Holy Trinity. Therefore, a careful examination of the teachings of such a highly praised Saint is of great importance.
