5.36 St. Lawrence of Brindisi: The Apostolic Doctor
About this episode
This episode discusses the life and contributions of St. Lawrence of Brindisi, a prominent figure in the Capuchin reform movement and a Doctor of the Church.
St. Lawrence of Brindisi (1559-1619) was one of the early Capuchins, the first Capuchin to be named a Doctor of the Church, and the third Franciscan so named, after St. Anthony of Padua, and St. Bonaventure. Just as the Discalced Carmelites were reformers within the Carmelite order, the Capuchins were reformers within the Franciscan order. St. Lawrence was also a popular preacher, a genius scholar, with a command of at least 10 languages, and the leading Catholic apologist of his day.
