What can St. Hildegard of Bingen teach us? A look at the life of this future Doctor of the Church
The following excerpt is from RomeReports.com:
October 7th marks the day, St. Hildegard of Bingen will be declared a Doctor of the Catholic Church. The German nun was a music composer, writer and theologian, who made a mark by talking about her religious visions.
Back in the 12th century, her visions were not always taken seriously. Eventually she decided to make them public only after getting approval from Pope Eugene III.
