====Canonization==== [[File:Palau de Mafra - Estàtua - 1.jpg|thumb|Statue of Saint Teresa of Ávila in [[Mafra National Palace]], [[Mafra, Portugal|Mafra]]]] In 1622, forty years after her death, she was [[canonized]] by [[Pope Gregory XV]]. The [[Cortes Generales|Cortes]] exalted her to [[patron saint|patroness]] of Spain in 1627. The [[University of Salamanca]] had granted her the title {{lang|la|Doctor ecclesiae}} ([[Latin]] for "Doctor of the Church") with a diploma in her lifetime,{{dubious|Salamanca diploma|date=April 2021}} but that title is distinct from the papal honour of [[Doctor of the Church]], which is always conferred posthumously. The latter was finally bestowed upon her by [[Pope Paul VI]] on 27 September 1970,{{sfn|Pope Paul VI|1970a}} along with [[Catherine of Siena]],{{sfn|Pope Paul VI|1970b}} making them the first women to be awarded the distinction. Teresa is revered as the Doctor of Prayer. The mysticism in her works exerted a formative influence upon many theologians of the following centuries, such as [[Francis of Sales]], [[Fénelon]], and the [[Port-Royal-des-Champs|Port-Royalists]]. In 1670, her coffin was plated in silver. Teresa of Avila is honored in the [[Calendar of saints (Church of England)|Church of England]] and in the [[Calendar of saints (Episcopal Church)|Episcopal Church]] on 15 October.<ref group=web>{{Cite web|title=The Calendar|url=https://www.churchofengland.org/prayer-and-worship/worship-texts-and-resources/common-worship/churchs-year/calendar|access-date=2021-03-27|website=The Church of England|language=en}}</ref><ref name="lff2018" />
