Saint Catherine of Siena, "the greatest woman who formed Catholicism" The woman, who in paganism had fallen to the lowest degree of abjection, was elevated by Christianity to such dignity that she deserved in Catherine to be made a participant with the Supreme Hierarch in the universal government of the Church and to enter almost arbitrator and moderator in the destinies of the world. What is certain is that in gazing at the very lofty mission and the virtues and marvelous works of Catherine, she appears to us as the greatest woman to whom Catholicism has formed.
