Special issue: Saints and Sanctity Description: The author explores the case of saint Catherine of Siena as discussed by two Dominican apologists, Tommaso Caffarini and Gregorio Lombardelli. Critics objected that Catherine's stigmata were invisible during her lifetime. Caffarini and Lombardelli justified representations of the stigmata to strengthen religious belief and promote sanctity for the learned as well as the uneducated.
