What do you think of women like St. Catherine of Siena, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Gemma Galgani, St. Maria Goretti, and St. Gianna Beretta Molla?

Are they just unfortunate souls who have been elevated to sainthood by a conniving hierarchy to manipulate women into buying into a certain version of what it means to participate in the Church as a woman?

Do you think they relied on a Curia to live our their lives of holiness?
