Pope Francis: Doctors of the Church
---
Pope Francis added 2 saints in the list of the Doctors of the Church. A doctor of the Church is a saint whose teachings about faith and morals have a preeminent significance in the doctrine of the Catholic Church. So far, we have 37 Doctors of the Church. In 2015, Pope Francis proclaimed St. Grigor of Narek as Doctor of the Church. Though unofficial, may people call St. Grigor the Doctor of Peace. In 2022, he proclaimed St. Irenaios of Lyons as Doctor of the Church, calling him “Doctor Unitatis” or Doctor of Unity. St. Irenaios is the only martyr in the list of the doctors and the doctor who lived closest to the time of Jesus Christ.
