I was quite pleased to read today that Pope Benedict XVI will name the fourth female Doctor of the Church soon. To read more about this amazing woman, here is an article (I won't say more, so that you read the article :) This is a pretty big deal, considering Blessed John Paul II only named one Doctor total during his illustrious career. That doctor happened to be a twenty-something woman when she died--St. Therese the Little Flower. Doctors of the Church are those that have made huge, definitive contributions to the Church's understanding of the Faith.

There was also a movie made about this new Church Doctor last year. You can rent it right now on iTunes. Here is the awesome trailer.
