"Therese of Lisieux: Doctor of the Church. A Study of the Cause, Process, and Proclamation of October 19, 1997."

"Therese of Lisieux: Doctor of the Church.  A Study of the Cause, Process, and Proclamation of October 19, 1997," a master's thesis by Mary-Ellen Malolepszy in the department of theological studies of Concordia University in Montreal, is now available online.  Among other themes, the author examines the history of the cause for Therese as a doctor of the Church in detail, with some comments about the role attributed to American Catholic dignitiaries; explores the issue of gender in relationship to Therese's doctorate; and explores the implications of Therese's doctorate.  This paper contains details about the cause of Therese's doctorate that, to my knowledge, have not been available online before now. Enjoy it.
