What is a Doctor of the Church?

A Doctor of the Catholic Church is an individual recognized for their exceptional contributions to theology and doctrine. The title “Doctor” comes from the Latin word “docere,” meaning “to teach,” highlighting their profound impact on Christian teaching and understanding.

The process of naming a Doctor of the Church involves an official declaration by the Pope or an ecumenical council.
