- W283543196 abstract "Saint Catherine Genoa (Caterinetta Fieschi Adorno, 1447-1510) is so often studied for her teachings on purgatory that she is sometimes called its great theorist.' For Catherine, however, purgatory was more than a doctrine. As her vita reveals, it was also a metaphor for her daily life: saw condition souls in purgatory in mirror her humanity and her mind, and therefore spoke it so clearly. She seemed stand on a wall separating this life from other, that she might relate in one what she saw suffered in other.2 In her daily life, purgatory appeared as an enmity between her and her flesh, an enmity so strong that it made her physically ill: When found itself obliged yield somewhat humanity, vita records, if it had not been restrained by a divine power, it would have reduced that body dust, obtain liberty be entirely occupied with itself; and body, on its side, would rather have endured a thousand deaths than suffer so much oppression spirit (ch. 38). Because this conflict kept her bedridden for several years before her death, it is fitting say that Catherine underwent purgation in this life rather than in next. Beyond its importance for theology, purgatorial aspect her life takes on renewed relevance for contemporary literary and cultural criticism when it is read as a borderlands metaphor. This particular reading stems from a juxtaposition two wellknown texts. The first is apostle Peter's metaphor church as a holy nation (1 Peter 2:9). This metaphor, taken from Hebrew scriptures (Exod. 19:6), recalls Jesus' teachings that his followers are a city set on a hill (Matt. 5:14) and are no longer of world (John 15:19). It therefore implies that every believer lives within two kingdoms simultaneously: kingdom God and kingdom world (which in this paper will also be called kingdoms heaven and earth). The second text is Gloria Anzaldua's book Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestizo, in which she notes, the psychological borderlands, sexual borderlands and spiritual borderlands ... are physically present wherever two or more cultures edge each other. Anzaldua is especially interested in how people within border regions maintain their shifting and multiple identity and integrity in face cultures that long to uphold old, rejoin flock, go with herd. Because confluent streams present in borderlands create a unique experience consciousness, border resident is truly a new kind human being. Applying Anzaldua's definition Peter's metaphor, Christian faith is a borderland in which kingdoms God and world edge each other within life individual. Insofar as conflict between Catherine's soul and body represents simultaneous presence kingdom God and kingdom world, her life can be read as a border region. Although borderlands metaphor is useful for reading Catherine's life, it is not necessary explicate Catherine strictly in terms Anzaldua. Catherine's experiences do reveal borderlands be, as Anzaldua described, psychological, sexual and spiritual, but it should not be assumed that they can be made fit into Anzaldua's framework. Since religious and ethnic identities function differently in world, religious and ethnic borderlands will have different characteristics. For example, Anzaldua's definition a borderland as a place where people different races occupy same territory will need be reinterpreted within a religious context, since notion race becomes complicated when applied religious communities. Although Peter defines Christian community as heavenly race, it is a race composed solely naturalized citizens, individuals (not families) who have converted by rejecting culture in which they still live, seeking foreign citizenship without leaving their native land, and who spend all their lives learning how be citizens their new homeland. …" @default.
