| Summary: | The article aims to analysing the impact of Paul vi's proclamation of Teresa of Ávila as a Doctor of the Church (1970) on the Francoist regime, and how this event undermined it in some sectors of the Spanish church soon after the Second Vatican Council. As attested by some theologians' interventions, such an impact is evident in reconsidering the modernity of Teresian mysticism and women's role in the church. The research allows us to reconstruct the doctorate's resonance, the downsizing of the stereotype of "Santa de la Raza", and finally the manipulation of Teresian sanctity in a baroque and "national Catholic" way, that Franco reiterated during the celebrations. In the 1970s the Council's aggiornamento encouraged a critical review of Teresa's writings and role model. Carmelite scholars carried out this process in the light of Teresa's conversion origins which had been concealed for centuries. |
