Catherine of Siena, canonized AD 1461

Saint

Catherine, the daughter of an artisan became one of the leaders of a new religious sensibility based on fervent devotion to the Sacred Heart and the cult of the Passion. She also became highly critical of Pope Clement VI (1342–1362) and the corruption at the heart of the papal court in Avignon. She helped to convince Gregory XI (1370–1378) to return to Rome from Avignon in 1377. Catherine was canonized in 1461 by Pope Pius II.
