Angela of Foligno (1248 – 4 January 1309)[1] was an Italian Franciscan tertiary who became known as a mystic from her extensive writings about her mystical revelations. Due to the respect those writings engendered in the Catholic Church she became known as "Mistress of Theologians".
Angela was noted not only for her spiritual writings, but also for founding a religious community which refused to become an enclosed religious order so that it might continue her vision of caring for those in need. It is still active.
The Catholic Church declared Angela to be a saint in 2013.[2] Her canonization was an “equivalent canonization” (without executing the ordinary judicial process of canonization).
