Sister Teresa Forcades of Catholic Benedictine Monastery obtained her master’s degree in Theology at Harvard University and PhD in Public Health from the University of Barcelona. This controversial nun, who is regarded as an icon of European left and the most radical nun in Europe, frequently in her lectures, utters a very harsh criticism against capitalism and the patriarchal Catholic Church. She has published a number of works in fields of theology and feminism. The most noted of her books is “The feminist theology in history”. Due to her activism, her attitude towards the Catholic Church, which she regards as “misogynous and patriarchal” and her public support for the rights of women to abortion she faced severe criticism from Vatican. She is also one of the greatest critics of pharmaceutical industry and the author of the book “The Crimes of Great Pharmaceutical Companies”. She is a proponent of the independence of Catalonia and one of the founders of progressive anti-capitalistic social movement “Process Constituent”.
