redpill me on Catholic mysticism
gpt
I don't know a ton because I'm a normal Catholic in a normal congregation but as I recall the big figure is Saint Teresa. She lived in the 1500s and described ways that people could commune with God, essentially a spiritual orgasm.
Also it's more schismaticism and heresy than mysticism, but I know there are communities in Wisconsin that practice a very strict, devout catholicism. If you look in your area, there are probably churches that call themselves Catholic but reject Vatican 1. These tend to be pretty hardcore traditionalists, not like the larpers here

St Therese of Avila, St John of the cross, Meister Eckhart, these are the most famous mystics of the church.
