Did medieval mystics uncover the true essence of Christianity? In this video, we dive into the radical lives of St. Anthony of the Desert, Richard Rolle, Celestine V, Hildegard of Bingen, Angela of Foligno, Catherine of Siena, and Johannes Tauler—visionaries who sought God through extreme asceticism, divine ecstasy, and even physical battles with the devil. Unlike today’s intellectualized faith, medieval mystics pushed themselves to the spiritual and physical limit in their pursuit of divine union. But have we lost this mystical connection in modern Christianity?
