Guest JeffCR07 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Come on now, totally unfair question! Athanasius is my favorite because he is the champion (and father) of orthodoxy... St. Thomas is my favorite because he is (in my opinion) the single greatest theologian that the Church has seen... Augustine is my favorite because his writings have, even when compared to those of other Doctors of the Church, had an absolutely immeasurable impact on the Church... Anselm is my favorite becuase I've been doing a lot of work and research on his Ontological Argument and the scope of what that argument seeks to do (namely, to [i]prove[/i] God's existence) is absolutely mind-boggling So basically, I've really not responded, nor do I think I can...

ForHimAlone Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Saint Teresa of Avila is amazing!! She's my favorite. I'm currently reading The Life, and I loved The Interior Castle. Check them out if you haven't already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StColette Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I've read quite a bit of their works, but picking a favorite is rather hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colleen Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Too hard to pick a favorite. I love St. Therese, St. Teresa, St. Augustine . . . but if I had to choose, I'd go with my Patron Saint, St. Catherine of Siena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForHimAlone Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Oh yes... can't forget Saint Therese! I just finished her autobiography Story of a Soul. It truly touched me. It was just beautiful and very inspiring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
