Name a saint who had run-ins with the hierarchy:

[hedgehog]

Joan of Arc

Mary Mary McKillop

Hildegarde von Bingen

Paul of Taurus

[Matilda]

1. Blessed Mary McKillop is not yet a saint,

although we have hopes!

Another who comes to mind:

Teresa of Avila

[47of74]

2. Hippolytus of Rome

He was the first Antipope in history, who was later reconciled with the Pope and after his death was named a Saint.

[Joe Chi Minh]

3. I think the number is large. But maybe more often in the case of priests

and religious, with some of their own brethren, incuding murder attempts.

One of Benedict's confreres tried to poison him, I believe. Attempts were made on Don Bosco's life - whereupon the ghost dog, Grigio, would appear and see off his would be assailants! Margaret Mary had a very tough time of it. I don't think extreme hostility on the part of individual fellow-religious has been exceptional.
