  Saint Therese of Lisieux: Doctor of the Universal Church by Steven Payne, OCD
In choosing as a Doctor of the Church this young woman--who died at twenty-four and was unable to attend any university or engage in strict systematic study--the Church was departing from tradition and breaking new ground.
The final process of deciding about Thérèse's doctorate was a 'rush job,' with all the documents compiled, all the theological opinions solicited, and all the votes held between February and June of 1997 (the centenary of her death).
The term "doctor" emerges in the Pauline letters of the Vulgate, as a translation for the Greek "teacher." A doctor is one who transmits the gospel, teaching by word and example.

There are three requirements for naming someone a Doctor: (1) holiness that is truly outstanding, even among saints; (2) depth of doctrinal content; and (3) an extensive body of writings which the Church can recommend to her members as free from error and faithful to her authentic tradition.
In this regard she cannot match some of the great Doctores Ecclesiae, St. Augustine, for example, who was truly a great stylist, a renowned rhetorician, and a writer who wielded words like weapons and whose works will last forever for their literary excellence as well as for the religious wisdom they contain.
By placing her in the Doctor's Chair and putting on her shoulders the Doctor's Gown, the Church calls us all to sit at the feet of this astonishing young woman, to restudy the Gospel and be filled anew with its light.

In his Encyclical Militantis Ecclesiae, of 1 August 1897, my esteemed Predecessor Leo XIII rightly honoured with the title "Second Apostle of Germany" him whom Pope Pius IX had beatified on 20 November 1864.
These were two defining elements in the development of the Church doctor's personality and work: Germany, which then covered a much larger area than it does today, and the truth of the Catholic faith, which was faced with various challenges.

 Jacques Maritain Center: St. Thomas Aquinas 4
The Dominicans, who had already in their general Chapters of 1279 and 1286 chosen Thomas Aquinas for their Doctor, were thus commissioned by the Pope to defend and maintain intact the teaching of Saint Thomas, the teaching rightfully appointed, under the sign of the Angelic Doctor, to the protection of the Catholic mind.
Saint Thomas, for his part, is the Doctor specifically Catholic; he is the philosopher and the theologian of Peter and of Catholicity.
This supposes that a living, actual, active bond unites this whole intellectual effort to the prayer of the contemplatives, in their solitudes and their charterhouses, and that this work among men is really borne up by this prayer in God.

Nonetheless, the book draws one in, in part because its topic has generated some controversy: after all, Thérèse was neither a scholar nor a theologian; her schooling was limited; she published nothing during her life; her writings suffer from surface naïveté and a penchant for overblown metaphors.
Naming a new doctor of the Church is, Payne amply demonstrates, a daunting process, but one completed, in the case of Thérèse, in near-record time.
During the extended debates that preceded her proclamation as a doctor of the Church, the loudest opposition came from those who perceived her as a standard-bearer for female subservience and outmoded devotional practices, a lapdog of the Catholic right.
