In this episode, we examine famous quotes commonly attributed to Catholic saints that they never actually said — and what we lose theologically when spiritual language is flattened, mistranslated, or weaponized.From Jacinta of Fatima and Our Lady, to the “Instrument of Peace” prayer attributed to St. Francis, to Catherine of Siena and the meaning of becoming who God meant you to be, we look at how misquotation, translation drift, devotional culture, and modern social media distort the saints’ actual teachings.This is not about debunking devotion, but about recovering the real spiritual depth of the tradition — and learning to read the saints more carefully.Patreon supporters receive a bonus episode on how saints get misquoted and how translation changes theology.
