Doctor of the Church
Doctor of the Church n. (a title given to) any of a number of Christian theologians and church fathers whose writings and teachings are recognized to have had a significant influence on Christian theology and doctrine.Originally and chiefly used of the four ‘Latin Doctors’ of the Western Church, St Augustine of Hippo, St Jerome, St Ambrose, and St Gregory the Great (as named in Roman Catholic canon law). In 1568 the title was also given by Pope Pius V to St Athanasius of Alexandria, St Basil of Caesarea, St Gregory of Nazianzus, and St John Chrysostom, the four ‘Greek Doctors’ of the Orthodox Churches (although these churches do not use the title). Since the 16th cent. many more individuals have acquired the designation by formal proclamation of the Roman Catholic Church in recognition of their contribution to the development of its doctrine, including Thomas Aquinas, Teresa of Ávila, and the Venerable Bede. [After post-classical Latin doctores ecclesiae (5th or 6th cent.). Compare also Middle French docteurs de sainte eglise, docteurs de l'eglise (both 14th cent.).]
