In this week's episode AJ Langley speaks to Samantha Slaubaugh, PhD candidate in Liturgical Studies at the University of Notre Dame, about the complicated French beguine Douceline de Digne (1214-1274). We talked about Douceline's influential brother, Hugh of Digne, the strictness of her religious life, the importance of community, levitation during raptures, "testing" mystics, and changing up the liturgy when friars are singing the wrong song.
