La Foi pris au mot invites you to evoke a very beautiful figure of mystic, woman and theologian: Catherine of Siena. The first female doctor of the Church, patron saint of Europe, this Dominican nun of the 14th century was as much a woman of prayer as a woman of action, as much a recluse as a public woman. Catherine experienced more lives than anyone in just 33 years: a recluse and visionary, she was also a public woman accompanying the pope and helping him reform the Church; a woman of prayer and contemplation, she left behind a considerable number of writings and letters. So who was Catherine of Siena? This is the question that Régis Burnet will ask his two guests: Brother François Daguet, professor of theology, who belongs to the Dominican convent of Toulouse, and Christiane Rancé, novelist, essayist and journalist.
