The questioning of St. Theresa's virginity is simply astoundingly ignorant. This person apparently doesn't understand history or social customs of the time.

It would have been absolutely unthinkable for Theresa to have not been a virgin...daughters were chaperoned and protected from male influence before marriage. Does no one know anything anymore?

Besides that, we have a pretty frank and clear description of St. Theresa's life.

Grrr.

This is really outrageous. The left and non-religious among us just cannot stand that we have anyone we look up to.

My confirmation name is Theresa and so named because of this particular saint and I am taking this quite personally.
