Episode six in the Mystics series is about a Spanish priest who founded the powerful Order of Preachers in the year 1216. He’s the patron saint of astronomers, the natural sciences, and the Archdioceses of Fuzhou in China. He’s credited for the mystical Rosary prayer and portrayed today as a supporter of the Inquisition, a violent campaign to eradicate all deviation, both religious and political, from the Christianity preached in Rome. According to legend, his birth was predicted by a vision of a dog leaping out of his mother’s womb carrying a lit torch in his mouth. This is the story of Saint Dominic the Hound of the Lord.
