Abstract:
St. Catherine of Siena’s life and writings illustrate the ways a person’s communication can provide guidance to others. Catherine exemplifies a dialogic responsiveness and commitment to semioethics by embodying her narrative tradition with an attentiveness toward charity and love toward others. Through an exploration of Catherine’s participation in society, giving specific attention to her effort to communicate with other people, this essay tells the story of St. Catherineof Siena; discusses her semioethics responsiveness through uncovering her dialogic approach grounded in the Catholic intellectual tradition; and addresses her responsiveness to others, using her letters to demonstrate her semioethics.

Abstract:
In this article, the author shows how Catherine of Siena, a mystic who lived in Italy for thirty-three years in the second part of the fourteenth century, known for ecstasies and revelations, put discretion (and prudence, its synonym), the leading virtue in the moral life, at the core of her spirituality, thus becoming a real lover of the truth and a teacher of true freedom. The article contains bibliographical references for the reader’s further study of the writings (Dialogue, Letters, and Prayers) linked to this formidable figure, who was canonized in 1461 and proclaimed a Doctor of the Church in 1970. Catherine’s teaching, firmly anchored in what the Church and her great Doctors have always taught, remains to this day a rich treasure for spiritual growth.

Abstract:
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.

Abstract This essay aims to shed light on the period spent by Catherine of Siena in Pisa during the year 1375. Catherine was not only a woman of faith and devotion, but also a leading political player in late 14th-century Tuscany, in direct contact with the Apostolic See through the members of her clique. Why did the lord of Pisa, Pietro Gambacorta, summon her to his city? What networks of relations did Catherine’s arrival fit into? What were the tangible consequences of her stay in Pisa?

Abstract:
Abstract Catherine of Siena shows a particular penchant for Christ's blood piety, and her Letters reveal how many images connected to an experiential imitation of Christ's Passion are at the base of her mysticism. The present article discusses Catherine of Siena's use of Pauline anthropology of renewal in the body and argues that Catherine's particular devotional experience and affective mysticism are centered on Christ's blood and embodiment. Through her theological reuse of imitatio Christi in a selection of her Letters, the article posits that Catherine connects her imitational mysticism to a Pauline exigency of renewal within and without the body.

Abstract:
Catherine of Siena was declared doctor of the universal church in 1970 for reasons documented in the record of the canonical process for that declaration. Primary among these reasons were her defense of the papacy and her orthodox fidelity to the magisterium, with emphasis on supernatural inspiration rather than human giftedness as the foundation of her teaching. Beginning from Catherine's own comments on doctors of the church, this essay proposes that a more cogent reason for naming Catherine doctor of the church rests in her pastoral genius grounded in a discipleship that seeks ultimate truth only in the truth that is God. That pastoral genius expresses itself in writings that are at once theologically sound, faithful, and humanly sensitive.

Abstract:
In addition to her identity as a saint, reformer, political activist and visionary, Catherine of Siena was uniquely affiliated with two groundbreaking institutions of the late middle ages: the lay confraternity and the third order. This paper focuses specifically on the figure of Catherine in order to address several important questions related to confraternity studies, including the role of gender in distinguishing lay devotional groups, the nature of women’s participation in confraternities, and the problem of their practice of the discipline. The resulting study sheds new light on Catherine’s corporate devotional identity by documenting her commemoration in text, image, and historical memory as both a consorella and a mantellata.

Abstract:
This essay begins with the paradox that Catherine of Siena, perhaps the most famous uncloistered religious woman in the Middle Ages, became after her death an authority and model for cloistered monasticism for women during the Dominican reform movement. But the dissonance in the idea of Catherine as a model for cloistered religious women is heightened by false assumptions or oversimplifications of Catherine’s religious status, and of what it meant for Catherine to be a model for this or that form of religious life. This essay surveys Catherine’s letters to religious women, including letters to penitents or mantellate and letters to abbesses and nuns in monasteries. While Catherine’s letters to penitents and other women living in the world focus on the challenges of living without a formal religious rule, her letters to nuns focus on the importance of their maintaining claustration, following their rule and on the dangers of wealth—a recognition of the generally higher social and economic standing of monastic women. Catherine seems also to identify certain kinds of prayer with monastic life. It is important to remember that Catherine herself founded a monastery, and while it remains unclear what precisely her intentions were for this community, it is another sign of Catherine’s interest in and commitment to cloistered religiosity. The essay concludes by arguing for a more nuanced understanding of what it might have meant for Catherine to be a model for specific forms of religious life.

Abstract:
In the spring of 1376, Catherine, the uneducated daughter of a Sienese dyer, a simple lay Tertiary, traveled to Avignon in southern France. She wanted to speak directly with Pope Gregory XI about organizing a crusade, reforming the Catholic church, ending his war with Florence, and moving his court back to Rome. Her reputation for holiness and her orthodoxy gave her a hearing with the pope, and so her words had a measure of influence on him. Gregory did move to Rome in the fall of 1376, and he paid for her trip back to Italy. In 1377 he allowed her to lead a mission in the Sienese countryside: he wanted her presence there to help save souls and perhaps stimulate interest in a crusade. In 1378 he sent her to Florence as a peacemaker for the war between the Tuscan cities and the papacy. In late 1378 Gregory's successor Urban VI asked her to come to Rome to support his claim to the papacy against the schismatic Pope Clement VII. Finally in 1380, Catherine died in Rome, exhausted by all these endeavors.

Abstract:

Catherine of Siena, a 14th-century saint, penetrated the Italian political scene ranging from local politics to the papal seat of Pope Gregory XI. Scholars have depicted her success as a living saint on her relationship with her confessor, Raymond of Capua. However, through analysis of her letters and background texts, it is clear that Catherine created a network of families and individuals even before she met Raymond in 1374. To what extent did this network that she actively created contribute to her success as a public figure in medieval Italy? What impact did this group of people have on Catherine and what impact did Catherine have on the network of followers? What information can be extrapolated from studying Catherine’s letters, hagiography, and testimonial works post-mortem? And, how does Raymond’s miniscule presence in the network change our interpretation of the basis of Catherine’s success?

Abstract:
This study investigates whether or nor not the imagery of Catherine of Siena can be interpreted from a Jungian perspective. It takes a lead from other studies, notably one on Teresa of Avila and Jung. Reading of medieval literature suggests that medievals applied the use of symbols and imagery in ways that are at times baffling to people of our time. Carl Jung was no stranger to imagery and symbol. In our current age with its renewed emphasis on the insights of spirituality, and to some extent its disenchantment with aspects of traditional psychology, there is room for a dialogue between the two disciplines of mysticism and psychology across a six-hundred year divide. The use of imagery, as a window to the soul, in the Christian tradition is examined. Catherine of Siena is situated within her own medieval context, one of upheaval in the church, but also an age of mysticism and spiritual/religious phenomena strange to our own time. Catherine is introduced against the background of her world and against the backdrop of the Dominican tradition. A discussion of some of her major imagery demonstrates her aim of union with God. An understanding of conscious aspects and of unconscious aspects of the self is shown as key to Jung ' s view of the psyche. Elucidation of some archetypes and a discussion of Jung's dream analysis demonstrates how Jung believed the unconscious becomes conscious, and how individuation becomes a possibility. Key Catherinian images are examined from a Jungian perspective. Catherine has relevance for the twenty first century, and we are invited to be challenged by the mysteries and truths to which her images point us.

Full text
Abstract:
Cette thèse traite le paradoxe apparent entre le statut de femme prétendument illettrée de Catherine de Sienne (1347-1380) et sa production de lettres, dictées en langue vulgaire italienne, à la fois nombreuses et fort importantes. Catherine y aborde en effet en prophétesse les grandes questions qui touchent la chrétienté à l’époque avignonnaise: la réforme de l’Église, la croisade, le retour des papes à Rome et la paix dans les états pontificaux. S’appuyant sur une présentation de la tradition textuelle des lettres, puis sur une étude des sources littéraires, la première partie fait le point sur la culture de Catherine et sur ses lectures. La deuxième partie montre comment Catherine s’inscrit dans la tradition du prophétisme vétéro-testamentaire et médiéval, puis comment ce prophétisme s’amplifie au fil de ses lettres. À travers , l’approche diachronique du corpus on voit ainsi comment les images s’organisent jusqu’à former une vaste allégorie où s’exprime le projet de société de Catherine
This thesis investigates the paradox seemingly posed by the alleged illiteracy of Catherine of Siena (1347-1380) in contradiction to her prolific and highly significant output of letters dictated in the Italian vernacular. These reveal Catherine as a genuine prophetess of the key issues that confronted Christianity at the time of the Great Schism: Church reform, the Crusade, the popes' return to Rome and peace in the papal states.The first part describes the letters as traditionally interpreted and probes their literary sources as a basis for assessing Catherine's culture and reading. The second illustrates her contribution to the tradition of vetero-testamentary and mediaeval prophecy and then how this trend gathers pace in her subsequent letters. A diachronic approach to her writings as a whole reveals how her imagery coalesces into a vast allegory reflecting her social aspirations

Abstract:
The Dominican Order gradually evolved rules governing contact between a Dominican pastor and a woman penitent. In the context of these rules, the care given to Catherine of Siena as reported by Raymund of Capua and as confirmed in the letters of Catherine herself can only be termed irregular. The paper attempts to identify the principles underlying and legitimating pastoral irregularity.
