As the Diocese of Oslo explores opening her cause for canonization, Stephanie reveals how this Lutheran convert was deeply shaped by English Catholic literary icons like G.K. Chesterton, Hilaire Belloc, and Robert Hugh Benson—even translating Chesterton's The Everlasting Man into Norwegian. Stream the segment to learn how Undset's love for the English martyrs guided her journey to the Church and her pursuit of holiness as a Lay Dominican!
