Popis: With a more attentive and more laical reinterpretation of biographies of St Louis Scrosoppi, a Friulian priest who lived in the 19th century and was canonized by Pope John Paul II, the paper explains how the development of the congregation of St Cajetan Thiene’s Sisters of Providence – which he established – was due more to geopolitical reasons and the efforts of Udine archbishop Andrea Casasola than to St Louis’ activism, as has so far been attested. Moreover, St Louis Scrosoppi’s peculiar concern for troubled girls is most likely connected to this part of his life that has barely been examined by historiographers.
