Thanks for the comment and thanks for reading. I'm not a catholic myself and the majority of my posts are not about Catholicism. Having said that, I have little doubt that Teresa of Avila was a true Christian and while I do not agree with all of her teachings, I think there is a great deal that we can learn from her.

The purpose of these posts is to highlight the people and events that shaped Christianity throughout history. Teresa of Avila had a massive impact. Overall, I would say that she had a positive impact. If we are open minded, we can certainly glean some measure of truth and inspiration from her life.
