Doctors of the Church

Down through the centuries, the Church has given a very special title to 38 saints whose teachings have an extraordinary impact on our understanding of the faith. We call them the Doctors of the Church. But, do we call them this? And who decides who gets this special title? Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains. 

Then hear Dr. Robert Stackpole, in conversation with Fr. Mark Baron, MIC, as he makes the case why St. Faustina, the Apostle of Divine Mercy, should be declared the fifth female Doctor of the Church.
