A naive question addressed to Julia Bolton Holloway: Did Birgitta of Sweden (or any of the other later medieval female saints you study) have definite ideas/predications/moral opinions about the crusades? Catherine of Siena's views are fairly well-known (especially in relation to Giovanni Acuto); Joan of Arc may have (I believe) wanted to crusade against the Hussites after the Anglo-French conflict was over...but the others?
